Our residential property uses our own wells for water supply. How to protect rights?

The community has its own wells, and the community supplies its own water. You have to find the property first. If not, please ask the health department to report that the water quality is poor and the pollutants exceed the standard, which may be useful.

Let's be clear, groundwater is not allowed to be pumped without approval! So before solving the water quality problem, make sure whether this well is legal or not. As far as the water quality of the well is concerned, the owner or manager of the well should be responsible.
