Water Wells in Angelina County Run Through PGCD and State Drilling Rules

A new private well on rural Angelina County land starts with Pineywoods GCD paperwork. The district form is plain but detailed. It covers a plan to drill, alter, or register a well. It asks for the deed record, plat or survey, 911 site location, driller, pump installer, and the distances to a septic system, property line, building, road, and nearby wells. The same form has district boxes for well permits, well registration, fee paid, and completion papers.

The state side still matters. Texas sends well driller and pump installer licensing through TDLR. TWDB also gives key spacing rules. A new well needs 50 feet from a septic tank and 100 feet from drain fields or spray areas when the well is built to the minimum specs.

Keep the PGCD form, driller report, plat, and septic layout together. That small file helps a buyer, lender, or repair crew see where the well sits and how the work was routed. It also keeps the 911 address and spacing notes close by when the well needs service.
