FYI, if you have a hand pump on your well, there are new guidelines for how those are used/installed. #waterlicense #midislandfarmersinstitute
Artesian wells must be controlled - flow clear of sidemen, through a casing, able to be turned off indefinitely & no threat to property or public safety #waterlicense #midislandfarmersinstitute
Unused wells must be deactivated or decommissioned after 5 years #waterlicense #midislandfarmersinstitute
