Yes, the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management regulates the siting, design and installation of private wells. Any work done on your private well should be conducted by a registered well driller or pump installer. You will find a listing of these individuals at DEM’s website. There are also minimum distances from some potential contamination sources.
