APPLICATION FOR DRILLING A WATER WELL

	The City of Beach recognizes that residents rely on groundwater for a safe drinking water supply and for irrigating purposes. Although the aquifer system is deep in the vicinity of Beach, the City wishes to insure its ground water derived, public drinking water and irrigating water is guarded against possible contamination incidents. Residents should be aware that the aquifers underlying the City of Beach may or may not have the water quality conducive for irrigation of lawns.     
	
	According to Ordinance 366 -14.0601 every owner and occupant of real property within the City upon which any water well is presently located or is hereafter constructed and located, is required to notify the office of the City Auditor of the existence of such well, giving in detail requested by the City Auditor the location, description and use of such well. Prior to commencement and upon completion of drilling, the Public Works Superintendent will inspect the location of the well and verify there is no cross connection between the well and the residential drinking water.

	The ND Department of Water Resources along with the ND Board of Water Well Contractors recommend hiring a certified well contractor in the completion of any wells. If the homeowner hires someone to drill the well, the driller must be a certified well contractor licensed with the North Dakota Board of Water Well Contractors. State law requires that the well driller’s report be filed with the ND Board of Water Well Contractors within 30 days after completion. If the homeowner is drilling their own well, the law still applies. Additional information on well drilling within the State can be found at the ND Board of Water Well Contractors’ website which is:
