Oconomowoc Lake Businesses That Run on Their Own Water

Siting Commercial Wells Near Oconomowoc Lakes and Wetlands

Lake Country has a lot of water on the surface, and the DNR watches what wells do to it. High capacity well installation, meaning wells that can pump more than 100,000 gallons a day, often 70 gallons a minute or more, requires state approval with a review of nearby lakes, streams and wetlands. Around Oconomowoc that review can be the longest step, so we start it early.

Golf course and nursery irrigation is the most common high capacity request we see here. Our irrigation well page for Oconomowoc covers it. Every commercial well drilling Oconomowoc estimate we give starts with state records for wells around yours.

Commercial Well Inspection and Upkeep Around Oconomowoc

Restaurants, resorts and campgrounds on a well are public water systems under Wisconsin rules, with regular lab sampling. A commercial well inspection covers the casing, cap, pump, controls and storage so the system is ready when the sampler comes.

Older lake-area wells can lose flow to scale and sediment, and well rehabilitation through our Oconomowoc well development service often recovers it. Wells left behind when a property connects to city water need well abandonment, filled and sealed to state rules. Regular checks run through Oconomowoc well service and repair.

Oconomowoc Business Well Questions

Is my Oconomowoc business inside the city water service area?

Many properties inside the city are on municipal water. Lake properties and businesses in the Towns of Oconomowoc and Summit are often on private wells. Give us the address and we will help you find out.

Do golf course irrigation wells near Oconomowoc need a permit?

If the well or wells can pump more than 100,000 gallons a day, yes. The DNR reviews high capacity wells for effects on nearby lakes, streams and wetlands.

How big is a commercial well compared to a house well?

On commercial well drilling Oconomowoc jobs, wells are often 8 to 24 inches in diameter and drilled deeper to reach more water. A house well is usually 6 inches.

Does my lake restaurant need water testing?

A well that serves the public is usually a public water system in Wisconsin and has a required sampling schedule. We inspect the system and help keep it ready for testing.

Can you fix our pump on a weekend?

We work Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, and are not a 24-hour service. We return every call within 24 hours.

How long does commercial well drilling in Oconomowoc take to plan?

A standard commercial well moves quickly once the site is set. High capacity wells take longer because of the state review, so we start the paperwork early.

Can an old, weak well be brought back?

Often. If the casing is sound, rehabilitation can clear scale and sediment and recover much of the lost flow.
