FL Wells

What changed

Changelog

· Pages for every county with records: 65

  • Counties with fewer than 100 water-supply wells now get a page instead of none, marked “thin coverage”. 65 counties, 1,075,621 well records.
  • New pages: Broward, Collier, Glades, Hendry, Lee, Martin, Okeechobee, Osceola, Palm Beach and St. Lucie. All lie mostly in the South Florida district, so they carry a partial-coverage notice. Osceola has 1,378 water-supply wells; the others have under 100.
  • This adds no South Florida household wells: only the few other-district records we already had. Port St. Lucie, for example, is still not covered.

· Paid well lists near an address

  • County, ZIP and town pages stay free, as does the typical depth near any address in the lookup.
  • The list of each nearby well, its links to agency records and the proximity map now need a $29 Neighborhood report (one address) or Pro ($49/month, any address, with address suggestions as you type). Payments are by Stripe.
  • How figures are computed is unchanged.

· Statewide snapshot: 55 counties

  • Records now come from a statewide snapshot of all five water management districts’ public well layers (v2026-10-25, 1,715,247 agency records), instead of county-by-county queries.
  • 55 counties have pages, up from 4, with 1,073,020 well records, 635 ZIP code pages and 551 town pages.
  • Added the Northwest Florida and Suwannee River districts. South Florida district records are read but not used: they hold only district-issued permits, with permit depths and no well use. Most South Florida counties have no page, and split counties say so.
  • Every record is placed in its county by its map point, because the snapshot rarely names a county.
  • New filters: proposed wells with no completion report, and SWFWMD records with no well use (mostly abandonment and plugging permits). Household medians in the first four counties are unchanged, except Flagler (72 ft to 70 ft) after proposed wells were removed.
  • Known trade-offs, listed in the methodology: the snapshot doesn’t say which locations are section centers, or which SWFWMD permits share a site.

· First public build

  • Ingested Citrus (39,037 records), Hernando (34,466), Putnam (12,315) and Flagler (17,737) from the SWFWMD and SJRWMD public well layers.
  • County, ZIP and town pages, with ZIP and town pages only where there are at least 30 water-supply wells.
  • Free address lookup with nearby wells, typical depth, depth spread and links to each original record.
  • Methodology, coverage, terms and privacy pages.
