Water Meter Program: Meters measure the flow of water from a pumping well. Benefits include the ability to monitor well pumping capacity and the accumulation of data for making good management decisions in the future. Meters are required throughout the District on wells capable of pumping more than 50 gallons per minute and the landowner must annually report to the District the total amount of water pumped.

Ultrasonic Meter Program: The District has ultrasonic flow meter equipment staff will install free of charge to measure well flow. Use this program to check the pumping capacity of smaller wells or the accuracy of your own meter. ​

Analyzing soil to determine the amount of nutrients present allows landowners and operators to adjust the amount of fertilizer they apply, saving them money and reducing the potential for polluting groundwater.​ Learn more by using the cost-sharing map (above) and accessing the appropriate cost-sharing packet for your land.

Well Decommissioning Program

Well Decommissioning Program

The proper decommissioning (filling) of abandoned wells keeps people and animals safe, while also protecting the groundwater from possible contamination. Upon receiving an application, LPSNRD will contact the landowner about an inspection of the well site.  Upon approval, the landowner may then contact a licensed well driller and have the well decommissioned. LPSNRD will make reimbursement to the landowner using the established payment rates. These rates are listed in the appropriate cost-sharing packet for your land. Access the packet by using the cost-sharing map (above).​
