Domestic Water and Irrigation Wells

There are some basic measurements used in most counties. The well needs to be:

  • 10 feet from nearest property line in city lots.
  • 50 feet from the nearest property line.
  • 50 feet from city sewer tight lines.
  • 50 feet from creeks.
  • 100 feet from septic fields and septic tanks.
  • 100 feet from animal enclosures.

The well drilling company has to apply for your well drilling permit, so a plot plan will need to be submitted.

Other things to consider are:

  • Home owner associations
  • Local city bylaws
