Read actual Minnesota records before choosing a match

Source fields retrieved 2026-10-30T00:08:53+00:00. Published by WellLookup; this is a source check, not a professional inspection.

The first two domestic entries in our ID-ordered audit sample lead these examples. The first monitoring entry in source object-ID order provides a contrast. These are teaching examples, not a representative sample, a local comparison or proof of a property match.

Domestic example

Public record 00180598

Published use: DO — Domestic. Selected depth field depth_drll: 280 ft.

Location method: 2 — Name on mailbox. The method is evidence to evaluate; it is not a confirmed parcel match.

Trace the unique number and decode the source

Open the Minnesota Well Index through the agency link below and search by the unique well number above. Compare any available construction log with the index entry. Check drilled depth and completed depth separately, and read the location method before assuming the mapped point serves a parcel.

Minnesota use codes DO, MW, IR and AB mean Domestic, Monitor well, Irrigation and Abandoned in the agency table. A source use code is not proof of current operating status. Official use-code table ↗ · Official location-method table ↗

Before using the number for a property decision

Check use, location evidence and the original filing. Ask for missing construction and test details rather than treating them as zero. Match the public identifier to property documents and the actual well.

Coverage

The public index contains location, depth, geology, construction and static-water information for many Minnesota wells and borings; missing records do not prove no well exists.

What you can find in Minnesota well records

Available fields vary by individual filing, but the Minnesota integration can surface:

How to search the Minnesota well map and read a well log

  1. Enter the full property address above to locate the property and open nearby mapped records.
  2. Compare record identifiers, well type, completion date and distance before deciding which wells are relevant.
  3. 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.
  4. 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

Minnesota's combination of construction, geology and static-water information gives buyers and owners useful local context beyond a simple location map.

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.

Minnesota coverage limitation

Minnesota's Well Index is extensive, but an absent record does not prove that no well exists at a property.

Public Minnesota source

WellLookup is independent of Minnesota Department of Health / Minnesota Geological Survey. The underlying public source is Minnesota Well Index. WellLookup adds address search, nearby-record comparison and property-focused reporting; it preserves the published source values.

Frequently asked questions

Can I search by address?

Yes. Enter a street address and WellLookup will search nearby mapped records from the supported Minnesota source.

Does the closest point belong to the property?

Not necessarily. Location precision varies, so verify identifiers, documents and the physical well before relying on the match.

What is in the paid report?

The $29.99 USD property report organizes the available evidence, nearby comparisons, source limitations and follow-up questions into one PDF.
