How do I locate the water well on my property?
Many states have water well records or maps online that you can search. If you are unable to find records, look for a wellhead above ground (see our sample well diagram) or follow the main water line from your home straight to the outside. There may also be a concrete slab or depression in the yard where the well is located. If you have a septic system, the well would be located on the opposite side of the septic. For instance, if your septic is in the back of the house, your well is usually in the front.
If you need assistance locating your well, contact a licensed well contractor or the wellcare® Hotline.
