Inside Idaho’s public well records
Statewide well records include permits, construction, depth, static water level, production rate and source documents where available. Older records and individual fields can be incomplete; verify mapped locations against the original report.
These are retrieved public records, shown so you can see the identifiers, available values and gaps before running your own lookup. They are regional examples, not a statewide sample or a prediction for a property.
| Public record ID | Published locality | Published use / type | Status / location quality | Recorded depth | Reported rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 362534 | ADA | Not reported | Status not reportedLocation quality not reported | 83 ft | Not reported |
| D0066043 | ADA | Monitoring | Status not reportedLocation quality not reported | 40 ft | Not reported |
| D0047061 | ADA | Injection | Status not reportedLocation quality not reported | 195 ft | 180 GPM |
Depths are converted from the lookup’s normalized meters to feet. Reported rate can represent yield, a pump-test rate or pump capacity depending on the source; these values are historical and are not interchangeable. A source zero can be a placeholder or a reported result: verify its meaning in the original file. “Not reported” means no comparable value was retained, not zero and not proof that the original file lacks all information.
How to verify a Idaho record
Use the well ID, permit ID and metal tag where present to trace the original documents. Check the construction date and data source before combining nearby records from different filing systems.
Open Idaho Department of Water Resources Wells ↗ and search for the identifiers above. Compare the original filing, location method and well type with seller documents and a physical well identifier.
Review method: up to three distinct public identifiers selected in returned distance order from an existing regional lookup, without selecting for an attractive depth or yield. Re-run the example lookup ↗ · How these reviews are prepared
Idaho Department of Water Resources Wells
Idaho Department of Water Resources
Statewide well records include permits, construction, depth, static water level, production rate and source documents where available. Older records and individual fields can be incomplete; verify mapped locations against the original report.
What you can find in Idaho well records
Available fields vary by individual filing, but the Idaho integration can surface:
- well ID or metal tag
- permit ID
- total depth
- static water level
- production rate
- construction date
- well use
- casing depth
- county
- official well documents
How to search the Idaho well map and read a well log
- Enter the full property address above to locate the property and open nearby mapped records.
- Compare record identifiers, well type, completion date and distance before deciding which wells are relevant.
- Open the public source below to trace an original well log or completion report where the agency publishes one. A mapped summary may omit details from that document.
- Verify the actual property well with the seller, record identifiers and an on-site inspection; nearby records alone cannot identify it.
How to use the record before buying a property
Idaho's statewide well database exposes the core construction and production fields needed for useful property-level comparisons.
Start with the address search, compare the closest records and their distances, then open the public source before treating a record as the subject property's well. If water quality or current performance matters, use current testing and an on-site well inspection.
Idaho coverage limitation
IDWR states that its database contains most well reports from July 1987 forward, while earlier records are less complete. Individual records can also have missing fields.
Public Idaho source
WellLookup is independent of Idaho Department of Water Resources. The underlying public source is Idaho Department of Water Resources Wells. WellLookup adds address search, nearby-record comparison and property-focused reporting; it preserves the published source values.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Enter a street address and WellLookup will search nearby mapped records from the supported Idaho source.
Not necessarily. Location precision varies, so verify identifiers, documents and the physical well before relying on the match.
The $29.99 USD property report organizes the available evidence, nearby comparisons, source limitations and follow-up questions into one PDF.
