Protecting Your Groundwater

Picture

Welcome

     In keeping with the priorities of our 5-Year Work Plan, the Oneida County Land and Water Conservation office is currently developing this "Groundwater" page to help educate landowners about proper well monitoring, support efforts to increase private well water teting and assess and share results of collected well water data. This page is still in the preliminary phase.  Please be patient with us as we find the most current resources to share with you.  As we build this page, we welcome your comments. Contact us at lwcd@co.oneida.wi.us if we can help you further.

     We are pleased to announce several improvements to assist staff and customers to search for Well Construction Reports (WCRs). 

​     Below is a summary of the tools and features, and a link you can use to try the new search tool.  We hope you enjoy these new tools.

Search Well Records

     We have a new interface for anyone to search for well construction reports (WCRs):
https://dnr.wi.gov/WellConstructionSearch/#!/PublicSearch/Index

​New features (compared to the old version):
  • One database to search instead of two
  • TN’s and NN’s are now included
  • Municipal and OTM’s are also included, with locational information redacted (well address, latitude/longitude, quarter section and quarter-quarter section all hidden)
  • Pre-1988 well construction reports are included (available in early January).  Multi-page reports have been combined into a single PDF.
WCR Search map tool

     Here is a new map tool that will allow anyone to use a powerful address/place name search tool to zoom to a location.  The tool will then find all well construction reports within a radius.

Advanced search options for staff and drillers

​     Using a different portal, DG staff and drillers will be able to log in to the Well Construction system with a WAMS ID and password.  DG staff and drillers can search by geology and other options that used to be available on the Well CD.  This will include pre- & post-1988 well construction reports.  Full locational information will be available for Municipal wells and OTMs, with a built-in “sensitive information” agreement.  This tool provides an option to generate a single PDF that includes well construction reports for multiple wells.

Access Well Driller Viewer using ArcGIS Explorer Mobile app

     The Well Driller Viewer map can now be used on a mobile device with ArcGIS Explorer Mobile app.  Just download ArcGIS’s Explorer app, then search for the map called “Well Driller Viewer – Mobile Friendly Map”.
       
Other efforts in progress/future
  • Improved well locations – WCR locations are being tied to parcels wherever possible.  Individual counties of improved well locations are regularly being loaded. 
  • Variances – NR 812 variances are being digitized so they can be archived and retrieved, providing additional information about a well to staff and customers.
