Well Sealing and Unused Wells in Manchester, NH
An old well can sit on a lot long after the house has moved on to public water, or after a new well has been drilled to replace it. Manchester Well Pump is a free referral service. Your request goes to an independent local well professional, who gets in touch about it and does the work on their own terms. This page is useful in towns where Manchester Water Works, or another utility, has reached only part of the town and unused wells may remain. Bedford, Goffstown, Hooksett, and Londonderry all have that mixed pattern: public water in some sections, private wells in others. A property that recently connected to a main can still have a well on the lot.
What this page does not claim
This page does not state a New Hampshire well-sealing statute or a required method for taking a well out of service. Ask the provider, and the town or the state, what applies to your property.
How an unused well should be taken out of service is a question for a professional who does this work.
When sealing comes up
You might have a well that is no longer in use because the house now has public water. You might be drilling a replacement well and need the old one taken out of service. You might also have bought a property and found a well you were not expecting.
If the unused well is still the source of household water, this is the wrong page. Use repair, testing, or drilling instead, depending on what is going on.
How to request help
Call [TODO: phone number] or send a request. Give the town, and say that you have an unused well, or a well you think may need to be taken out of service. A local professional will get in touch. Manchester Well Pump does not perform sealing work and does not employ technicians.
Any price, quote, or appointment comes from the provider, not from this site.

FAQ
Do you seal the well yourselves?
No. Manchester Well Pump is a free referral service. An independent local professional does the work on their own terms.
Is there a New Hampshire law that says unused wells must be sealed?
This page does not state one. Ask the provider, and the town or the state, what applies to your property.
Why would a lot on public water still have a well?
Manchester Water Works and other utilities serve sections of several nearby towns, and they do not reach every street. A house can be connected to a main now and still have an older well on the property.
Is sealing the same as drilling a new well?
No. Drilling makes a new well. Sealing takes an unused one out of service. They sometimes happen on the same property, when a well is being replaced, but they are different jobs.
