Water Well Decommissioning and Plug Services
Prairie State Water Systems offers a variety of solutions to your well service needs, including well repairs and installations. However, if your well system has deteriorated or is “out-of-service,” a professional and proper water well abandonment company may be required under the state of Illinois Water Well Construction Code.
An abandoned well can pose a health and safety hazard, and become a potential route for groundwater contamination if sealed improperly or not sealed at all. Sealing abandoned wells not only satisfies legal requirements, but it also aids in protecting groundwater, ensures safety, and decreases potential liability for the landowner. It is required, under the Illinois Water Well Construction Code, that the owner of a water well, boring or monitoring well, must properly seal the well within 30 days of abandonment or when it is no longer used.
