Inside Vermont’s public well records
The state layer contains more than 110,000 well-completion reports filed since 1966, with location method and construction fields available by record.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1259 | Montpelier | Business Establishment | Status not reportedscreen digitized | 185 ft | 30 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 Vermont record
Match the report number, tag and original report ID. Location-determination method and the unknown-location flag affect confidence; hydrofracture results and test duration can change how a yield is read.
Open Vermont Private 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
Vermont Private Wells
Vermont Agency of Natural Resources
The state layer contains more than 110,000 well-completion reports filed since 1966, with location method and construction fields available by record.
What you can find in Vermont well records
Available fields vary by individual filing, but the Vermont integration can surface:
- well depth
- reported yield
- static water level
- completion date
- driller
- casing
- grout
- screen details
- well use
- drilling method
- location method
How to search the Vermont 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
Vermont exposes unusually detailed well-construction and yield fields, which makes it useful for comparing nearby wells while still showing how each point was located.
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.
Vermont coverage limitation
Vermont's public layer includes completion reports filed since 1966, but record location quality varies by method. Some points are GPS-located while others were digitized or geocoded from an address.
Public Vermont source
WellLookup is independent of Vermont Agency of Natural Resources. The underlying public source is Vermont Private 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 Vermont 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.
