Title: Water Well
Geospatial Data Presentation Form: vector digital data
Description:
Abstract: New York State registered water well drillers are required to submit completion reports documenting where wells have been drilled, the specifications of those wells, and any subsequent work performed on those wells. Data regarding water wells has been collected since April 2000 as required by ECL 15-1525. Completion reports for the wells are added as they become available. Historical wells are added as the wells are mapped. Well locations are generally accurate to the parcel scale but may not represent the exact location on the property.For background information, see Water Well Contractor ProgramFor layer information or to download layer, see Water WellsDownload the metadata to learn more information about how the data was created and details about the attributes.
