Texas rules require abandoned or deteriorated water wells to be plugged or properly capped. If you have an old well on your property, a licensed contractor can advise on what's needed.
What you can request
- Plugging abandoned or unused water wells
- Capping wells that will be kept for future use
- Help with buying or selling property with an old well
- The contractor handles required reporting
Please note: this site is a free referral service, not a contractor. We forward your request to an independent, licensed water well contractor serving the Midland area, who contacts you and quotes you directly.
Before you hire
Ask for the contractor's TDLR license number and confirm it on the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation website. Get a written quote that lists depth, casing, pump and any permit or reporting steps.
