The North Kings GSA is committed to keeping control over groundwater in the hands of local groundwater users, those who understand the needs of the region and can make the best decisions for its future. Well registration is necessary for understanding groundwater conditions, making data-informed decisions, and planning for long-term sustainability.

The deadline to register wells is November 30, 2025 to avoid a late registration fee. Get started on registering and learn more by visiting northkingsgsa.org/wellregistration.

The registration process is simple, and if you have any questions or run into issues, our support team is here to help at (559) 693-5119 or wells@northkingsgsa.org.
