Steps
Identify artesian flow conditions during drilling before finalizing casing installation
Install a control method capable of fully stopping or regulating discharge (valve, pitless adapter, packer, or receiving tank, per state-approved options)
Adjust the control so only the necessary or permitted amount of water discharges
Inspect the valve or fitting for leaks after installation
Report the flowing well to the state agency per applicable notification requirements
Known gotchas
Allowing continuous uncontrolled artesian flow is a code violation in most states with artesian provisions, not just a wasteful practice, and can draw enforcement
The control method must be capable of fully shutting off flow in several state codes, not merely reducing it
Uncontrolled discharge can reduce artesian head and affect neighboring wells, creating liability beyond the regulatory violation itself
