The DEP is responsible for licensing <br />and certifying water well contractors. The regional water management districts (WMD's) have <br />authority to regulate the drilling and use of water wells. It should be noted that the authority to <br />suspend or revoke water well contractor licenses has been delegated to all of the WMD's with the <br />exception of the South Florida Water Management District.
