Kings County stragglers face fines of $100 per well for not registering
In an effort to prod stragglers, a Kings County groundwater agency approved charging penalties to Lemore-area well owners who don’t register with the agency by April 30. … The board agreed and approved a $100 per well late fee for landowners who aren’t registered by the deadline. So far, the GSA has received well registrations from about 67% of landowners. The registration and penalty policies apply to wells that pump more than two acre feet per acre of land. Owners of domestic or abandoned wells won’t be subject to the penalty for registering late.
