Water Supply Wells
Permitting and Inspecting
If you are in need of a water supply well for irrigation, household or business use, then you will need to obtain an
Application for a Well Construction Permit. After you have paid for this
permit, you must choose a certified well driller to construct your well. The well driller will set up an appointment with an environmental
health specialist to meet at your property to determine the well location. The Well Construction Permit will be issued
at this time.
After the well has been constructed, or drilled, an environmental health specialist will visit the job site during the
grout placement and to inspect
the well head to ensure it has the
necessary requirements (i.e. tags, hose bib, etc.).
When the well has passed inspection and has electricity to operate the pump, the property owner should call the
Environmental Health office of the Forsyth County Department of Public Health at (336) 703-3225 to set up an appointment
for a water sample to be collected.
The cost of this, and a follow-up sample, if needed, is included in the fee for the Well Construction Permit.
