New Hampshire's WRB number connects a mapped inventory entry to its public OneStop detail page. These Acworth domestic wells provide a reproducible example of reading depth, casing, tested yield and static water level without assuming a parcel match.
Selected teaching examples of domestic records, including incomplete entries. These are not a representative sample, a statewide average or proof that a well serves a particular property. Measurements describe published historical records; missing fields remain unknown.
OneStop confirms WRB 001.0130 and the driller's identifier 111201-A. Retain both when matching paperwork; they are two identifiers for this record, not two wells.
Total depth, depth to bedrock, casing and static water level are separate measurements. Casing extending below the reported bedrock depth is not a contradiction: it describes the lining rather than the depth of the borehole.
OneStop labels the published rate Tested Yield. It is a historical test result, not a current water-quality certificate or a guarantee of sustainable household supply.
The public record identifies a domestic bedrock well and retains a tested-yield value. Its depth alone does not establish its ability to meet a home's demand.
The mapped entry's yield-test-duration field is blank. Obtain the original test details and current flow/recovery information before comparing rates from different wells.
The inventory's location-accuracy and location-entity values are coded. Their presence does not independently verify the wellhead or the property relationship.
Begin with the address lookup and retain the candidate's WRB number, town and driller's well identifier where shown. A nearby point is a candidate, not a confirmed serving well.
Open the exact OneStop record
Use the source-record link when one is published. The examples above open WRB 001.0130 and 001.0129 directly, so their details can be checked without navigating a raw GIS endpoint.
Read the construction and test fields
Match Type, Use and Date Completed before comparing Total Depth, Depth To Bedrock, Casing, Tested Yield and Static Water Level. Preserve blanks and check the original test context where the summary omits it.
Resolve gaps with documents and the actual well
Compare the WRB and driller identifiers with seller or driller paperwork and the physical well. Use the OneStop page's program-contact route for record questions or corrections, and current inspection/testing for today's performance and water quality.
Some inventory records are historical or imprecisely located, and government services can be interrupted. If a source request fails, retry the official record and use the property's documentation; never interpret an upstream error or an empty map as proof that no well exists.
Before relying on a property match
Match the record identifier with the seller’s or driller’s documents, confirm the actual well on site, and obtain current flow/recovery and laboratory water testing as appropriate. A historical depth or yield cannot establish today’s condition, water quality or future drilling results.

Coverage
Mapped NHGS inventory entries include WRB identifiers and OneStop record links, historical construction, tested yield and location-quality fields. Coverage and record precision vary; a nearby point does not confirm a property match.
Property buyer checklist
New Hampshire well database: verify the evidence
Start with the free address lookup. Official state records can help frame these questions, but they do not replace an inspection.
Does the mapped record identify this property's well or only a nearby well?
How many records include published depth and reported yield?
Have current water quality and operating conditions been checked separately?
The optional $29.99 USD report organizes nearby records, coverage gaps and buyer follow-up questions in a four-page PDF.
Available fields vary by individual filing, but the New Hampshire integration can surface:
well and WRB identifiers
completion date
well use and type
total depth
bedrock depth
casing length
yield-test method and duration
reported yield
static water level
town
location accuracy

How to search the New Hampshire 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
New Hampshire's Water Well Inventory provides a strong combination of construction, yield and static-water fields while retaining location-accuracy and source-record context.
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.
New Hampshire coverage limitation
NHDES describes the inventory as screening data subject to verification. The database has been maintained since 1984 and is extensive, but historical or locational gaps can exist and individual mapped records should not be assumed to serve the searched parcel.
Public New Hampshire source
WellLookup is independent of New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services / Geological Survey. The underlying public source is New Hampshire Water Well Inventory. 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 New Hampshire 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?
