Grants are available to local county health departments to provide financial assistance to their residents for private water well services.

The bureau also works closely with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Private Well Program, which provides technical oversight of water well testing, water well closure, and water well reconstruction through the PWG program. Individual well owners who would like to receive reimbursement should contact their local county environmental public health office.
Resources for Well Owners Contact your local environmental public health office to see if your county participates in the PWG Program.
