The busiest contractor on these records is Advance Termite and Pest Control, INC, named on 60 of them (34.1%), ahead of Carl Vincent Service (43) and Well Owner (19). The oldest record here was completed in 1976 and the most recent in 2023.
Plugging records — for (unstated)/abandoned in Reno County
163 of the 176 records for (unstated)/abandoned in Reno County carry a plugging report (92.6%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 13 do not.
That is not a list of abandoned wells, and this site never calls them that. Kansas defines abandonment by use — a well unused for two years — and nothing in this register tracks use. What the absence of a plugging report does mean is that the State has never been told the well was sealed. On the 2 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

An unplugged well on land in Reno County?
13 of the 176 records in Reno County have no plugging report on file. If a well on your land is no longer used, Kansas requires it to be plugged and the duty falls on the landowner — with cost-share of up to USD 1,000 per well through the Kansas Department of Agriculture. This site reads the register; it does not drill and it does not plug. Tell us where and we pass the request to licensed Kansas well contractors.
We recommend no contractor and we are nobody's agent. We have no arrangement with any firm today — we are collecting these requests in order to go and find them. What we do with this.
