Good morning Brian,
Above permit is for a new garage. We did receive the approval letter and stamped plans from your Department. Just a
quick question. I notice that the well head is inside the garage. That is ok?
Thank you,

If you need to contact me, my direct extension is 462-1555.

Good morning Lydia,
Yes, I saw that and it is acceptable. We called the homeowner for clarification on the matter. We were told that they
intend to leave the well head exposed above the ground. There is no building foundation setback for a well. Below I've
cut and pasted the code citation from 62-532 F.A.C. that addresses burying wells if they do bury it.
4. Any unused well shall be capped in a watertight manner with a threaded, welded, or bolted cover or valve.
(b) Upper Terminus.
1. At the time of well construction, all wells shall be accessible at the upper terminus of the well casing for inspection,
servicing, and testing.
2. For private and multi -family water system wells and irrigation wells, the upper terminus of the well casing shall project at
least 12 inches above finished grade. Where a potential physical structure or traffic hazard may be present or where a potential
public health threat exists, the upper well casing terminus may be placed in an appropriate enclosure terminating at finished grade.
The enclosure shall be designed to allow vertical access to the upper well casing terminus for maintenance and inspection and
provide for gravity drainage of the enclosure. The upper well casing terminus shall be constructed to a point 18 inches or less below
finished grade. The upper well casing terminus shall be sealed with a water tight seal to prevent the entrance of surface water and
contaminants into the well.
We will not be performing any inspections associated with the well or septic system as it was a "no bedroom" plan
review.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
I understand your concern and appreciate your double checking with us.
Have a good day!
