Dakota County regulates the constructing and sealing of water wells. This is to ensure clean, safe drinking water for residents.
Completed applications for all well permits should be submitted to Water Resources at wellpermits@co.dakota.mn.us. Well construction and sealing permit applications are normally completed by a licensed well contractor.
Monitoring and product recovery wells must be annually registered. Dakota County will mail a permit application to the responsible party.
