Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 103I.301, require that a well must be sealed by a licensed contractor, if:
- The well is not in use
- The well is contaminated
- The well has been improperly sealed in the past
- The well threatens the quality of the groundwater
- The well otherwise poses a threat to health or safety
If you have an unused well but wish to keep it for future use you must apply for an annual maintenance permit from Blue Earth County. The maintenance permit requires a $ 100.00 annual fee, and is only issued if the well meets minimum sanitary requirements.
