According to the Wisconsin Well Code anyone may install a driven-point well, you do not have to be licensed to install this type of well on your property or anyone else’s property. The only restrictions on this ability are that any preliminary excavation or starter drill hole is no deeper than 10 feet and the finished well must meet all requirements in the well code (NR 112) in regard to well location, well construction, pump installation and finishing operations. A license is not required for a property owner to install a well pump on a driven-point well on his or her own property as long as all requirements of the well code (NR112) are met. But, only a licensed pump installer may install a well pump on someone else’s property.
