Water Well Notification

Louisiana law requires that advance notification of intent to drill a water well be submitted by the well owner to the Commissioner of Conservation at least 60 days prior to drilling the well. The purpose is to assist the Commissioner in the management of the State’s ground water resources. The Water Well Notification form (GWR-01) [Download:Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF)] provides the Commissioner with the basic information necessary to document new water wells and pumping rates of wells installed in each aquifer. All new water wells are also required to be registered with DOTD within 30 days after completion pursuant to LAC 57:I. et seq. LAC 43:VI.701.A.
