 Any
person interested in constructing a new well on their
property must obtain a well permit from the Scotland
County Health Department-Environmental Health Division
located at 1405 W. Blvd. in Laurinburg, NC. Additional
information may be obtained by calling: (910) 277-2440.
A copy of the Well Rules for Scotland County and the
State of North Carolina may be obtained upon request.
Upon verification of property ownership, the Scotland County
Environmental Health Specialist will make a site visit to
determine the best location to construct a new well. The
landowner obtains the well construction permit and must have
a North Carolina licensed well driller to construct their
well.
Upon construction of the well, the Environmental Health Specialist
must make a well grout inspection to make certain the well
grouting is poured to state requirements. After the well is
completed, the Environmental Health Specialist will obtain
water samples to make certain the well is free of coli form
bacteria. If no bacterium is present, the well will be an approved
water source.
