Well/Pump Inspection Program

The Monroe County Health Department inspects Well/Pump Systems for the purpose of Real Estate Transactions, Title changes, Refinances, and Lot Improvements.

This service is provided after the property owner, buyer, or agent submits an inspection application (which can be found here) and pays the required $ 50.00 fee. Once the application is processed, the inspection begins with a file and records search here at our office in attempt to locate any records and information regarding the site. Any documentation is then copied and becomes a portion of the report. Next, a Wastewater Sanitarian from the Department conducts a visual evaluation of the well, checking the separation distance from any nearby on-site sewage disposal systems. A water sample is then collected and submitted to the laboratory for bacteriological testing. Once the results are received from the laboratory, a copy is attached to the file and the results are then certified. This service is provided within 7-14 working days, depending on the laboratory availability.
