To renovate or replace an existing well that has an existing water right. A replacement well must be within 150 feet of the existing well to qualify as a replacement well. A new well located more than 150 feet but less than 660 feet from the existing well requires a change application but the application does not need to be advertised. A replacement well must include the legal abandonment of the existing well. As the term suggests, the authority to drill a replacement well only allows for replacing an existing well. A change application is required to drill additional wells, or drill a new well without abandoning an existing well.
