What the state record says

Illinois licensed water well contractor (IDPH license held by Russell A McDorman (water well contractor license 092-009505); active on the IDPH Water Well Contractor search on September 30, 2026). Illinois licenses the individual rather than the company under the Water Well and Pump Installation Contractor's License Act (225 ILCS 345) and 77 Ill. Adm. Code 915: a water well contractor may construct, modify and seal water wells, a pump installation contractor may install and service pumps and pressure systems, and the licensee must be on site or supervising the work. A permit from the county health department (or IDPH where the county has no delegated program) is required before a well is drilled, and the contractor files a well construction report with IDPH; the state's well records are published through the ISGS ILWATER map.
