Rules depend on the location and the groundwater district or other authority that applies to the property. Your licensed driller handles the location-specific requirements and can tell you what applies before work begins.

There is no single statewide depth that makes a well suitable for drinking water. The correct depth depends on local geology, the water-bearing formation, well construction and site conditions. Around Livingston, wells commonly run 200+ feet deep, but an individual property may be different.
