With Majority of Parcels Claimed and Wells Registered, Remaining Landowners are Urged to Complete the Process

Thanks to the active participation of our landowners in the Well Registration Program, the North Fork Kings GSA is closer to completing State-required groundwater studies. Completing these studies is essential for keeping local control over groundwater management. While most landowners have registered their wells, the GSA urges those who haven’t yet to do so.

While many landowners registered by the September 30 deadline, the GSA understands that we entered the busy harvest season soon after the requirement was established on July 1st and may not have been able to complete their well registration. We also recognize that the new software tool Watermark came with challenges, and the Watermark support team at times faced a high volume of tickets that slowed response times. As a result, the North Fork Kings GSA has decided to hold a grace period for the $100 per well registration fee.

If you haven’t registered your well, the GSA encourages you to do so as soon as possible to avoid penalty fees during this grace period. To register, visit northforkkings.org/watermark.
