Questions? Check the FAQs:
Why is there a well registration program?
Well registration is the next critical step for effective, sustainable groundwater management under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA)…
Why is there a late registration fee?
Late registration fees encourage timely well registration so the North Kings GSA can maintain complete, consistent data for all groundwater users. Registrations submitted after the deadline require additional follow-up and processing time, and this fee helps offset those costs. Registration has been open without a late fee since March 2024. The policy requiring registration went into effect May 1, 2025.

Well types include:
- Domestic
- Agricultural
- Industrial
- Private domestic (household)
- School district

How to register your well:
1. Gather all the well information you have
Certain details about your well will be required during registration, such as its location and type. You will also have the option to provide additional information, like well depth or pump capacity. Even if you do not have every detail, it is still important to share what you can. Some well information is better than none and every registration helps keep water management in local hands and protect access to water now and for future generations. You will be able to go back to edit or enter more information later.

- Well location (you will be able to pin on a digital map)
- Well name
- Well type (e.g., irrigation, domestic)
- Well status (active or inactive)
