Plugging & Sealing Abandoned Wells
Plugging Abandoned Water Wells ... a landowner's responsibility
Water wells are conduits between the land surface and the groundwater resource. If not sealed or plugged properly, abandoned wells can contribute to groundwater contamination. Common surface pollutants, including animal and human waste, herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers, can take the path of least resistance down an abandoned well and into an aquifer (water-bearing formation). Abandoned wells can also be a serious safety hazard, especially for children. The 1988 Indiana water well drilling statute (IC 25-39) requires abandoned wells to be sealed at the surface or plugged with impervious materials. This brochure addresses the most common questions about abandoned water wells. Specific requirements for sealing or plugging abandoned water wells are listed in the Indiana Administrative Code, 312 IAC 13, Rule 10.
More information can be found in the Indiana Department of Natural Resources https://www.in.gov/dnr/water/water-availability-use-rights/water-availability-userights-frequently-asked-questions/#Anchor-Wha-58658 or the pamphlet 312-IAC 13-10 below.

Frozen Pipes
It is that time of year and the temperatures are dipping below freezing again at night. Frozen water lines in our homes can be prevented.
Here some tips:
-Allow a small amount of water to run from multiple faucets.
-Shut off and drain outside water faucets before freezing occurs.
-Insulate walls nears exposed piping.
Winter is here and these tips will help make it less troublesome. You can read more about preventing frozen pipes by clicking on this link.
