In most instances whomever owns the land where a water well is drilled also owns the well. It is understood that monitoring and observation wells are often an exception to this principle. The following notes are particularly relevant to pumping water wells and geothermal water wells. Water wells are required to be registered to the proper owner. In many situations land is owned by trusts, companies and corporations rather than individual persons. It is important to verify with your clients how the ownership of the land is recorded at the county assessor’s office. The Department attempts to verify ownership when registering a well and processing pump installation and modification forms. We understand that when land has recently changed hands the assessor’s information may be briefly out of date. However, in most instances of forms being rejected for lack of accurate owner information; the situation could have been avoided if the form submitter had simply used one of these reference tools to verify the true owner of the land, which is most often the owner of the well. Neb. Rev. Stats. §46-602 and §46-2,124 make it clear the Department must have accurate water well owner information. In the atypical case where a pumping water well is owned by someone other than the land owner, proper documentation of the well ownership should be provided to the Department.
