Pump Installer Licensing & Continuing Education Law Must be licensed by January 1, 2011; License Regulated By the Indiana Department of Natural Resources
This year's General Assembly approved SEA356. A part of this bill establishes a water well driller and pump installer license. It prohibits a person from installing a water well pump unless the person is licensed. It allows persons who meet certain qualifications to be issued a water well pump installer license without taking the examination. It also establishes a continuing education requirement for a water well driller and water pump installer licensee. (Note: bold type indicates new language in the law.)
