The intent of this paper is to discuss the need for laws and regulations governing construction of wells for private water supplies. This will include: (1) why laws and regulations are necessary, (2) need for registration and licensing of drillers and pump installers, (3) how laws and regulations affect uniformity of construction and the desirability of such uniformity, (4) how they encourage the manufacture of new materials and group organization, (5) what a law and code should contain, (6) need of judgment in administering laws and the regulations adopted pursuant thereto, and (7) the difficulties in enforcing laws and regulations including budgetary reasons. The material presented is drawn from Wisconsin's 26 years of private water supply administration and in part from personal experience. Hence, all statements and conclusions made do not necessarily represent the thinking, views or practice of the author's employer.
