Do I have to destroy my well if I participate in the project?

Palermo customers interested in connecting to the SFWPA water system can provide a signed Letter of Interest to the project partners (see the Palermo Clean Water Consolidation Project Page). Participating customers will not be required to destroy their wells, however, they are encouraged to take advantage of grant funds to do so as part of the project implementation process. If at a future time the well is inactive and is required to be destroyed, these customers will be required to pay the costs to properly destroy their domestic wells out-of-pocket.
