Water Well Program
General Information
The Water Well Program at KDHE is administered by the Water Well Unit within the Geology
Section.
The purpose of the Water Well Program is to provide for the exploration and protection of
groundwater through the licensing and regulation of water well contractors in Kansas and to
protect the health and general welfare of the citizens of Kansas. The program oversees the
proper construction, reconstruction, treatment and plugging of water wells and to provide
data on potential water supplies in Kansas. This is done by requiring well logs for all
water well construction, reconstruction and plugging of wells within the state.
To become a Kansas Licensed Water Well Contractor requires submitting to KDHE a completed
application, successful completion of a written exam and submitting the required fees to KDHE.
After becoming a Licensed Water Well Contractor, the contractor is required to renew their
license annually by submitting to KDHE a renewal application on a form provided by KDHE, filing
all well records (WWC-5 form) for each well constructed, reconstructed or plugged during the
previous year of licensure, satisfying the continuing education requirements and submitting the
required fees.
