Water Well Decommissioning Incentive

Properly decommissioning a well is an important step once a well is abandoned.

Abandoned wells can pose a threat to people's safety and the quality and quantity of your ground water. An abandoned well can act as a direct conduit of contaminants into the ground water, increasing the risk to public health. Properly decommissioning wells is an important step that you can take to conserve the quality of your well water. 

Starland County offers a $200 incentive to properly decommission well. A licensed water well contractor has the qualifications to properly decommission a well. Contact Ag Services at [email protected] or at 403-772-3793 for more information on qualifying projects.
