The Code of Virginia §62.1-258 requires that certified water well system providers submit a water well completion report form to DEQ for any private well constructed within a Virginia Groundwater Management Area within 30 days of construction.

In coordination with the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), an online reporting option is available for satisfying this requirement. By submitting water well completion reports online through DEQ’s myDEQ, water well system providers can also satisfy reporting requirements under the VDH private well and waterworks regulations. 

myDEQ access to the GW-2 module is only available to certified water well system providers at this time.

If you are not a well system provider and need information on a specific well or wells, please contact the appropriate contact listed on the right-hand side of the page.  

myDEQ can be accessed using any mobile device as long as an internet connection is available. All reports submitted online become a historical record on state servers and will remain a permanent record for the water well system provider to access online at any time.
