What is this bond?

An Oregon Landowner's Water Well Bond is a financial guarantee required by the state for property owners drilling, altering, or abandoning a well on their own land. It ensures that the well work complies with state groundwater protection standards and regulations.

Who needs it?

Property owners in Oregon who plan to personally construct, alter, or abandon a water well on their own property typically need this bond. It serves individuals acting as their own well constructor rather than hiring a licensed professional. Always verify specific requirements with the issuing agency before starting any work.

Why is it required?

The state requires this bond to protect public health and the local groundwater supply from improper well construction or abandonment. It provides a financial safety net to cover the costs of correcting the work if the landowner fails to meet state construction standards.
