  • IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AND CURRENTLY IS EXTREAMLY IMPORTANT FOR ANY WATER INFORMATION TO BE IN THE NAME OF THE CURRENT LAND OWNER. (NOT JUST ANYONE HELPING). IT WOULD ALSO BE EXTREAMLY VALUABLE TO ALWAYS SOMEHOW MAKE THE LANDOWNER FILE THE NOTICE OF COMPLETION RO RECORD THE DATA - NOT JUST BE GIVEN THIS INFO. & TOLD TO "FILE" IT. DO NOT KNOW HOW TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, BUT WOULD CERTAINLY SAVE EVERYONE TIME AND MONEY IN TRACKING DATA.
  • I WOULD HATE TO SEE ACCESS TO GROUND WATER INFORMATION. THE RESULTS FOUND MAY BREAK OR MAKE A DEAL FOR ME. EITHER WAY IT IS A SIGNIFICANT RESOURCE FOR MY CLIENT'S DECISION MAKING PROCESS.
  • WE REALLY RELY ON THIS INFORMATION AND CAN'T IMAGINE DOING BUSINESS WITHOUT IT.
  • WATER IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES WE FACE IN MONTANA. I GREW UP ON THE EDGE OF THE BUTTREY PLUME.......GROUND WATER PROTECTION IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE.
  • LOVE USING THIS SITE. ALWAYS LOOKING ON IT FOR ONE THING OR ANOTHER.
  • THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK. THE SITE IS VERY VALUABLE TO ME.
  • IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WELL LOGS WERE LINKED OR SEARCHABLE BY ADDRESS SINCE THERE ARE OFTEN SEVERAL WELLS WITHIN A SECTION. I USE THE SITE OFTEN.
