In 2006, the North Carolina General Assembly passed Session Law 2006-202, which requires local health departments to initiate programs for permitting, inspection and testing of private drinking water wells. These types of wells include (1) private wells that serve a single residence and (2) transient non-community water supply wells that do not meet the definition of “public water supply” in 15A NCAC 18C (i.e. restaurants, churches, schools, child care facilities, and medical facilities).
Program implementation date for all 100 counties was July 1, 2008.
