(A) The top of the casing shall be cut off smooth and level, be free from dents and cracks, and shall terminate at least six inches above the concrete slab around the casing.
(B) The identification plate, if removed or obscured during pump installation, shall be relocated and securely attached to the well casing or enclosure floor around the casing by the person installing the pump and pumping equipment.
(C) All piping, wiring, and vents shall enter the well at least eight inches above land surface.
(D) (1) The well head shall be completely enclosed except on wells with turbine or other type pumps and pumping equipment designed for all weather conditions.
(2) The enclosure shall be well drained and constructed to prevent the entrance of surface and rain water, insects and rodents, and to protect the well head equipment against freezing.
(3) The enclosure shall have a concrete floor with a thickness of at least four inches and extending a minimum of two feet outward from the outer well casing.
(4) Every public well water supply shall have a continuous bond concrete slab or well house concrete floor extending at least three feet horizontally around the outside of the well casing. The top of the floor shall be at least two inches above land surface and shall slope away from the well casing in all directions, the surface of the ground shall be graded to slope away from the well head enclosure in all directions.
(5) A conduit of sufficient size shall be cast into the floor to provide for installing the pump piping and wiring through the floor. The space between the piping and wiring and the conduit walls shall be sealed.
(E) Every well shall be equipped by the person completing the well head with a usable access port.
(1) The access port shall be located directly on top of the well if the pump is offset from the well.
(2) For wells on which the pump is installed directly over the well, an access port pipe shall be installed through the pump base or outside of the well casing, and terminate inside the well casing at some point below the base of the pump.
(3) The access port shall have a minimum inside diameter of one-half or five tenths of an inch, so that the position of the water level may be determined by measuring with a steel or electric tape through the access port.
(4) The access port shall be installed and maintained in such a manner as to prevent the entrance of water, dust, insects, or other foreign material, and to permit ready access for water level measurements.
