GLCAP offers two primary services to assist rural well owners with their water wells.
Our Water Well Education Assessment program provides no-cost water well assessments for rural well owners. Our Household Water Well Assistance program provides low-interest financing for home owners for well repair or construction.
Please note: RCAP provides well assessments as scheduling allows. If you feel that your well requires immediate attention, please contact your local health department.

Private water well assessments help you learn more about your well system and can identify potential threats to your drinking water supply. Well water testing assessments entail an in-person evaluation of your well, evaluation of the water source, and education to ensure well water safety.
We can also recommend feasible solutions for identified issues and provide assistance to access federal, state, and other funding for well constructions and repairs.
