Purpose:
As part of our effort to assess drought and dry year impacts, we would like to document specific wells that may be experiencing problems. Although we cannot solve individual well problems, information we gather will assist in the County's drought assessment efforts and understanding groundwater basin conditions. Please help provide this information by reporting any problems you experience with your well. Most questions are optional, so leave them blank if unknown or if you prefer not to answer. Given the sensitive nature of private well information, we will not publicize information about specific wells.

Thanks for your voluntary participation.
