Well Search Request Form

Per Section 13752 of the California Water Code, information about wells is considered confidential in the State of California. Public agencies that possess well information can only release the information under certain circumstances.

According to Section 13752 of the California Water Code, “well information shall not be made available for inspection by the public, but shall be made available to governmental agencies for use in making studies, or to any person who obtains a written authorization from the owner of the well. However, a report associated with a well located within two miles of an area affected or potentially affected by a known unauthorized release of a contaminant shall be made available to any person performing an environmental cleanup study associated with the unauthorized release, if the study is conducted under the order of a regulatory agency. A report released to a person conducting an environmental cleanup study shall not be used for any purpose other than for the purpose of conducting the study.”
