Unpermitted water wells worth more than Gold

A water source is the single best resource anyone can have. With many government agency's  adding new water laws and restriction, many people now have water meters on old family water wells in some areas. You will see more and more of this coming. Politian's realize the power of water, and seek to control is more and more. It is Now law, do your research and see, some states own the water falling from heaven, before it even hits your land. In Colorado, no one can even catch rain water without a rain water permit 1st. REMEMBER, a PERMIT IS NOT FOR EVER.
 A permit is just permission for a time. It can be retracted, and revoked and removed, or changed. Also permits to be valid must have your personal signature to valid. This show you, they cant do this without your consent . Your consent is your signature. Everyone like to obey the law. We need law, but beware when you seek a water permit, you just rang bells and whistles done at the water district or other government agency's . Once you get a water well permit, you now on there list. The list for higher land taxes because of land value is higher now with water available.
Older water wells are what is called Grand father water wells.  Grand father water wells are just water wells with no permit. Once a well is permitted, it is no longer under the grand father law.
In California they require a well permit. In some areas there well permit can be as high as 8000.00. This is not for a water well, just the permit. If you secure a well permit, this only lets you start drilling. If you hit a dry hole, then you must by law fill well in. Not by anyone, only a certified well driller can do this, and not for free either. Then to drill again, you need a NEW well permit. Another 8k for new permit.
I guess this is why we have built custom drilling rigs extra short to drill in California basements with short 4ft drill pipe. I don't not promote not getting a well permit, but make your own decision, and know your local and state laws.
