Rule 411. A registered water well drilling contractor under the supervision of the owner
or the owner's designated representative shall perform a yield or performance test to
demonstrate that water can be withdrawn from an on-site water supply well for drinking
and household purposes at a sustained pumping rate which is not less than 10 gallons per
minute (gpm) and which meets or exceeds peak water demand for not less than a 4-hour
period of time. If an on-site water well cannot sustain a capacity that meets the peak water
demand, then the department shall require demonstration of a combination of the known
well yield and storage facilities that can furnish water at a delivery rate sufficient to meet
the peak water demand.
