What is a community well? Can I get one for my development?
A community well is generally considered any well that provides water service to 3 or more homes. A well that provides water service to 2 homes is considered a shared well.

It may be possible to drill a community well for your development. Developments with 5 or more homes will be required to have water rights or separate irrigation available.

Please contact Yakima County Public Services Utilities Division at 509-574-2300 for additional information.
