Water well registration and water use license

Groundwater is equal to mineral resources. Indeed, nothing is more important for a person than water. When purchasing a plot, everyone is interested in whether there is a centralized water supply to it or it will be necessary to attend to this issue on its own.

Let's look at how to solve the problem in the absence of centralized water supply.

Here are possible options:

1. dig a well with your own hands or by inviting specialists;
2. drill a hole and install a pump.

Main types of groundwater

Before we understand how to solve the issue of water extraction in our area, what difficulties this may entail, we will try to find out what types of groundwater exist.

Verkhovodka

Supership forms the upper aquifer of groundwater.

This layer is different:

1. local distribution;
2. seasonal character;
3. tendency to dry out in dry time;
4. fresh water;
5. weak mineralization;
6. partial pollution by organic matter.

Ground

Groundwater is formed by precipitation and filtered upper water penetrating into the groundwater from a higher horizon.

Interstitial waters

Interstitial waters are usually blocked by a thicker or thicker clay layer of greater or lesser thickness. The disadvantages that are inherent in overhead are absent.

Waters of this type can be:

1. non-pressure, after opening a layer of well, it remains within the sand layer, not rising into the layer of water stop;
2. pressurized, when they can be freely poured onto the surface after opening.

Pressure interplast waters are called artesian.

Well options

The use of water from a drilled artesian well requires obtaining a special license to use the subsoil. Many people are mistaken and believe that any well is an artesian well. This is not true.

Artesian is considered to be those wells that drill to aquiferous limestone. Such wells are more expensive to build, and there are a lot of worries with documents. The price of drilling per linear meter of the well “to the sand” is not much cheaper than the same, but “to limestone”.

But the service life they have different. The second can last 50 years, while the first is guaranteed to last only 15 years. This is due to the fact that in these layers of water there are many impurities from which it must be cleaned. A well filter is installed in the well, which periodically requires cleaning or replacement.

Council It is advisable to start drilling the well as soon as the plot has been marked, but nothing has been built yet. In this case, you do not have to repair the fence after the arrival of the drilling installation, and the presence of water at the site during further construction will save a lot of manpower and resources.

Registration

So, you have decided on the type of well to provide your household with water. It is time to figure out what documents are required, what permits or licenses will be needed.

For the needs of small land users

Issued by Roskomnedra in 1994, the instruction on the use of the "Regulations on the procedure for licensing the use of subsoil" states that in the extraction of groundwater from an aquifer first from the surface, which is not a source for centralized water supply, it is used exclusively for the needs of land users, a license is not required.

It is emphasized that the water intake can be made using simple structures, such as:

1. digging and digging wells;
2. kaptai small springs;
3. marginal wells.

This directly applies to the use of aquifers for water supply to an individual plot of land, a small farm, a garden plot, and other small objects..

Compliance with the specified conditions of subsoil plots for each region is established by Roskomnedrai subdivisions and state and local authorities of the federal subjects. Additional conditions under which a license is not required are determined in a similar manner.

These include the following parameters:

1. volume of marginal water withdrawal;
2. land area for the organization of water supply.

Important. It is worth noting that this provision applies only to wells that have been drilled to the first aquifer. The depth of occurrence is determined by local Roskomnedra units. To the well, which affects artesian water, obtaining a license is mandatory for all.

In order to inventory the water balance of the territories, registration of wells and shallow wells for individual use in the FRS is carried out, and these objects are included in the technical passport BTI. But no taxes in the current legislation on them are provided.

Important. Each well must have a passport. It must be issued by the organization with which the private owner has entered into an agreement for drilling a well. Sometimes unprincipled persons issued two passports per well. One where its actual depth is indicated, and the second with a smaller value. Please note that when submitting false information to the registration authorities, the owner may be punished.

For commercial use

Drilling a well to any aquifer for commercial use requires a permit. Such permission is a license for subsoil use.

To perform work and obtain a license in the future, it is necessary to issue a whole package of documents, these are the main ones:

1. a detailed inspection report of the territory for the implementation of the water intake project;
2. permission to perform work on the design and drilling of wells for water;
3. coordinated calculation of water consumption;
4. the project itself is a future well.

After all the drilling and construction of the well has been carried out, water is analyzed by the Rospotrebnadzor staff, a water use license is obtained and the ownership of the well is registered.

Summary

So, we now understand that a license is required for the commercial use of aquifers. For a private owner who consumes water only for domestic purposes of his household, such a license is not needed if water is taken from the first aquifer.
