If any type of well is no longer being used, it needs to be properly plugged and a Well Abandonment Report (GWS-09) must be filed.  The Colorado Board of Examiners (BOE) of Water Well Construction and Pump Installation Contractors publishes a quarterly list of licensed well contractors throughout the state who can assist well owners in properly plugging a well.  Please refer to the BOE Rules and Regulations (2 CCR 402-2) to be compliant.
