Steps
Use the free public search at https://apps.dnr.wi.gov/wellconstructionpub/#!/PublicSearch/Index (Wisconsin DNR Well Construction Information System)
Search by well ID, county, address, or legal (PLSS) description to pull the digitized Well Construction Report (WCR)
Cross-check planning constraints with the Well Driller Viewer map application (dnrmaps.wi.gov, viewer=Well_Driller_Viewer) for NR 812 setback/approval context
Note that licensed drillers submit new WCRs through a separate authenticated online reporting portal requiring a WAMS ID login, not the public search tool
For records not yet digitized, contact the Wisconsin Geological & Natural History Survey (wgnhs.wisc.edu) or email DNRWELLREPORT@wisconsin.gov
Known gotchas
The public search tool and the driller's WCR submission portal are two separate systems with separate logins — do not send a driller to the public-search URL to file a report
Well construction is governed by NR 812 Wis. Admin. Code; the Well Driller Viewer is a planning aid showing setback/approval layers, not a permitting system itself
Some older wells exist only in WGNHS's separate archival well-records collection, not the DNR digital database
