Loudoun Wells

More Metadata

This Water Well layer was created in March 2010 to provide an easily accessiable spatial database of water wells only. It also provides additional attribute information on Status, Depth, etc.

The original water well & pollution source layer was developed in 1988 by the County’s Environmental Health Department. Records were entered into a database from 40 years of historical paper files, which exhibited a wide range of completeness and accuracy. This was an on-going process until early 1996 at which time the layer was no longer maintained. In late 2000, the Department of Building and Development began a process of updating the layer by entering data from the permit files, which had accumulated since 1996.
