The team at Ace Drilling have helped a lot of property owners set up their well drilling in and around Polson, MT. To help you get started with the process, they’ve outlined what you’ll need to do to set up your new home’s water supply.

Determining & Following Regulations

Your local government likely requires a permit for water well drilling. Contact your local county planning office to ask what’s required in getting the necessary permits. Your contractor might also be able to help you through the process of acquiring permits since they are familiar with it. They should also be familiar with any other regulations you’ll need to follow.

Testing Quantity & Quality of Water

Once the permits are obtained, your contractor can conduct testing to determine the quantity and quality of water you could access through the well. You will need enough water to satisfy your everyday and seasonal needs and special uses, such as for fire protection. Your contractor can help you evaluate your needs and compare what the property has to offer to determine whether your new well can yield the appropriate water.

Everyday use includes turning on the tap in your home or using appliances. Seasonal use might include filling a swimming pool, watering your garden, or running a water feature in your yard. Special uses include irrigation for crops or providing water for livestock. In rare occasions, you might also need a fire protection water supply.
