We have created an informational document, "Placing Wells Back in Service Following Inundation by Flood Waters - Decontamination of the Well Structure is Imperative," for well owners impacted by recent flooding in Southwest Colorado.

As a result of recent legislation (HB25-1014), DWR is required to notify the owner of record of a non-exempt permit that the permit has expired. Such permits are expired if acceptable evidence that the well was constructed within two years of permit issuance was not provided to our office.
