Wells and drilling that are not registered will be removed after November 27, 2020.
Then expires the period in which companies and citizens must register their groundwater facilities on their properties. These are wells, boreholes, geraniums, captured springs, drains and others, recalled the Ministry of Environment and Water (MOEW).
If they don’t, after this period they can’t use them.
If illegal water intake facilities are established after November 27, the wells and boreholes will be liquidated at the expense of their owner, who also bears criminal responsibility, warns the Ministry of Environment and Water.
Well registration for citizens
The Ministry of Ecology also explains the procedure for registering wells on the property.
Their owners must submit an application for registration. It contains the three names of the property owner, data on the ownership of the land – identifier, notarial deed, sketch, address, permanent purpose, permanent use form.
The depth of the well, the diameter of the pipe or the opening of the masonry wells, the way to pump the water, with a bucket or a pump and what the water is used for are also indicated.
The registration fee for water intake facilities is not paid for own needs.
This record applies to wells, the water of which is used for domestic purposes, for watering and raising animals for household needs.
The use of water up to 10 cubic meters per day from the wells registered in the settlements is free. No water meters are required and no state fees or taxes are paid for these wells.
The registration is necessary to protect the interests of citizens in granting the right to draw water in the area of the respective settlement and limit the danger of drying out of the wells, it is stated in the announcement of the Ministry of Environment and Water.
Registration of facilities for commercial entities
The facility registration procedure for commercial entities is different.
The owners of such wells must also submit an application to the corresponding basin management for their registration in the records of the water intake facilities.
Information on the structural characteristics of the water intake installation and its condition must be attached to the application: diameters and depth of placement of the cover columns and filters, the presence and quality of the well cementing; results of registering with a drilling camera the state of the trunk of the installation in all its depth; the results of experimental seepage tests conducted for recording purposes, as well as a complete chemical analysis of the groundwater on all indicators for which groundwater quality standards have been established. This must be done by an accredited laboratory.
Furthermore, evidence is required that the intake facility reveals only one body of water, including a geological-hydrogeological column and geological profiles.
The owner must also provide data on the location of the water intake facility, including geodetic coordinates and altitude at the mouth of the facility or at characteristic points of the line facilities.
Information on the equipment of the operating facility is also required.
A statement of the facility’s construction year is also required, as well as a statement of the owner’s intentions to use or preserve the facility.
Owners of commercial water intake facilities must also pay a fee to register the well.
More information about wells for own needs can be found on the website of the Ministry of Environment and Water.
