WaterWorks drilled our 125-foot deep domestic water well. In rural Orange County and Wedgefield, wells are common as municipal water may not be available. Well depth depends on aquifer location and water quality requirements.
Pro tip: A permit from St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) is required before drilling. Apply early — well placement must be shown on your site plan.
Property purchase completed after environmental and boundary survey due diligence confirmed buildable area.
Surveyor stakes wetland buffer lines before clearing — highly visible markers prevent accidental buffer violations and fines.
Stem wall cores filled with pumped concrete grout — encases vertical rebar and completes the reinforced foundation wall.
Official Wetland Determination Certificate issued by Orange County EPD — valid 5 years, required for all NGP applications.
Separate irrigation well installed same day as domestic well — reduces domestic demand and saves on drilling mobilization costs.
Footer trenches excavated and rebar installed — critical: ground rod must be bonded to rebar BEFORE pour for electrical inspection.
