Water Well Drillers & Water Well Pump Installers
Marshall County Ordinances:
- Marshall County Well Installation & Maintenance Ordinance
- Marshall County Health Department Fee Schedule
Permit Applications:
Before purchasing a property, you should be sure that both a well and septic system can be installed & maintained on the property. If these steps are not taken, any investment in the property may be lost. Each site is unique and systems on surrounding parcels are not a guide to what is possible on your lot, in your soil, or allowed by current codes. For vacant ground, you may want to be a check on zoning to be sure there are not any restrictions on the lot (phone: 574 935-8540).
Steps to obtain a Well Permit:
New Well Permits are issued for a new well, whereas a repair permit is issued for any repairs or other maintenance to an existing well.
Registered Contractor Lists:
All well drillers need to be IDNR licensed & registered as a contractor in Marshall County in order to install & maintain wells. Registration is based on the calendar year.
Permit Application:
All Marshall County well permits require the homeowner to submit a completed application before the permit can be issued. This application must be submitted along with the proposed well design and the relevant fee.
