Jasper County Environmental Health administers a program to assist property owners with the cost of properly plugging any unused or unwanted water wells. These wells are not only a hazard to drinking water supplies but they also pose a safety hazard to people, animals and equipment or vehicles. Each year a number of people are injured or killed due to falling into old, forgotten wells. Contact Jasper County Environmental Health at 641-792-7603 to schedule a well plugging appointment or for answers to any questions concerning this program.
