Ohio rule

Do you need a permit to replace a well pump? Usually not.

Ohio's private water system rules (OAC Chapter 3701-28) treat replacing a pump with a like component as a repair that does not need a permit. Altering the well itself is different. Our guide walks through the line between the two and links the rule text.

Frequently asked questions

Why did my water suddenly stop?

On a private well, a total loss of water usually comes down to power (a tripped breaker), the pressure switch, the pump or its control box, or a tank that has lost its air charge. It is worth checking the breaker first. If the breaker is fine, our no-water diagnosis page lists what gets checked and in what order.

Do I need a permit to replace a well pump in Licking County?

Under the Ohio rule definitions, replacing a pump with a like component is classed as a repair, and a repair does not require a permit. Altering the well itself does. See the permit guide for the rule text and the source links.

How much does well pump replacement cost?

It depends on pump type, well depth, and labor. Our cost page lists the factors and a cited published range, and we give a written estimate before any work starts.

Can I send photos instead of describing the problem?

Yes, and it helps. A photo of the pressure tank, the pressure gauge and the switch cover tells us a lot before anyone drives out.
