Water Well Standards (Code of Alabama: Title 22 Health, Mental Health, and Environmental Control; Chapter 24)

This chapter of the Code of Alabama approves water well standards. It states that the chapter applies solely to wells drilled for the production of water and has no application to wells or holes drilled, augered, cored or dug for quarry blast holes or mineral prospecting or any purpose other than water production. It shall be unlawful for any person to operate any equipment or machinery in the drilling or repair of a water well unless the overall operation is, at all times, under the supervision and management of a licensed water well driller as provided for in this chapter. The chapter further provides for penalties for violating the provisions of this chapter and an exemption from the rules of the chapter.
