Report a Dry Well

About

A “dry well” could just be producing less water than before. Sometimes the water level has declined below the pump and the pump just needs to be lowered. In other cases, the well has stopped producing because it has collapsed or clogged. This can be due to problems with construction or a lack of maintenance.

Reporting

Reporting your dry well helps scientists and water managers better understand changes in groundwater supplies and how those changes may be impacting people that rely on those supplies. If you report your dry well, the Department may notify you of funding and other assistance, if the Department is made aware of any available for your area.

Visit the Department's drought page to learn more about current conditions and impacts and to connect with other drought resources and assistance.
