What the state record says

New Hampshire licensed water well contractor and pump installer (Water Well Board license 192: water well contractor license for rotary drilling; pump installer license (domestic and commercial/industrial); active on the NHDES Find a Contractor search on September 30, 2026). The Water Well Board (RSA 482-B and rules We 100 to We 1000) licenses the business for the well construction methods it may use; a water well contractor may construct, alter, hydrofracture and abandon wells of the licensed types, and a pump installer may install and service pumps and pressure systems. Wells need no state permit, but every completed well is reported to NHDES within 90 days and appears in the state Water Well Inventory. The Board's registry shows a complaint on file (last dated 10/07/1996); ask the Board for the outcome.
