Northern Tulare County groundwater agency makes well registration mandatory
Some landowners in Tulare and Kings counties are facing a mandatory well registration deadline of July 1, 2026. The Greater Kaweah Groundwater Sustainability Agency board of directors passed the resolution at its Feb. 9 meeting to gather depth, location, and type on approximately 2,000 wells in its boundaries. It is seeking the information on agricultural, domestic, industrial and retired wells that have not been destroyed. … The Kaweah subbasin GSAs, which also include East Kaweah and Mid-Kaweah, all have well registration programs as part of their groundwater sustainability plan. But Greater Kaweah is the only one to make it mandatory.
