Montana Ground Water Information Center (GWIC)
Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology
GWIC publishes statewide borehole records with depth, static water level, drilling, status and location-method fields where available; individual records vary in completeness and positional accuracy.
What you can find in Montana well records
Available fields vary by individual filing, but the live Montana integration can surface:
- GWIC ID
- well depth
- static water level
- completion date
- drilling company
- driller
- drilling method
- well status
- construction type
- county
- location method and accuracy
How to use the record before buying a property
Montana's GWIC provides unusually strong construction and location-quality context for rural property research when the original record identity and limitations remain visible.
Start with the address search, compare the closest records and their distances, then open the official 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.
Montana coverage limitation
GWIC records vary in completeness and positional accuracy. The database includes different borehole and site types, so WellLookup preserves the site type, status and location method rather than assuming every nearby point is an active domestic well.
Official Montana source
WellLookup is independent of Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology. The underlying public source is Montana Ground Water Information Center (GWIC). WellLookup adds address search, nearby-record comparison and property-focused reporting; it does not change the official record.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Enter a street address and WellLookup will search nearby mapped records from the supported Montana 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.
