Well records

Finding your well registration number

Arizona wells carry a registration number that starts with 55-. It is the key to your well record, and it is useful to have when you call.

This is a referral line. When you call, you are connected with an independent local well pump company.

Where to look

Search the ADWR Well Record Search (opens in a new tab). You can search by parcel number, by location, or by owner name. Wells are registered to the parcel, not the person.[source]

Closing papers from a home purchase sometimes include the number. A tag on the well casing may too.

If the owner name is wrong

When a property sells, the well registration should be updated to the new owner. ADWR's FAQ explains the change of ownership form.[source] State law covers well registration in A.R.S. 45-593.[source]

What the record tells you

Depending on the well, the record can include drilled depth, casing size, the driller's log, the water level at drilling and the pump information. That is a big head start for a pump company.

Shared and older wells

A shared well is registered to the parcel it sits on, which may not be yours. Very old wells may have sparse records. See our guide on shared wells.

Keep it with your house papers

Once you find the number, write it on a card near the pressure tank and keep a copy with your closing documents. Add the drilled depth and the date of any pump work. The next time something breaks, you or anyone calling for you will have the details a company asks for first.

Questions

Do I need the number to get help?

No. It just helps. Call anyway.

Is there a fee to look it up?

The online search is public. Check ADWR for any fees on forms.

What if my well is not registered?

Ask ADWR. Wells in Arizona are required to be registered.[source]
