IWIS - Well Statuses


Well Statuses

There are 10 well statuses used in the IWIS database. The statuses are explained below:

  • Permitted: Permit issued only - only proposed well information entered.
  • Expired: Permit issued - one year has passed and no information has been entered into the well construction details section (wells tab), water quality tab, or well plugging tab.
  • Active: Well created without permit - no water test or well log.
  • Active Water Test: Permitted or non-permitted well with only a water test recorded - no well construction details.
  • Active Logged: Permitted or non-permitted well with well construction details entered, but no water test.
  • Active Completed: Permitted or non-permitted well with well construction details entered and a water test.
  • Standby: The well is not currently used but will be returned to service in the near future. Only wells migrated from the PWTS database have this status available.
  • Inactive: Taken out of service but not plugged.
  • Plugged: Once a well plugging record has been entered, the well changes to plugged.
  • Withdrawn: The well will not be constructed - the permit had been revoked/removed.
