County Well Index Enhancement Project
The County Well Index (CWI) contains well and boring records wells within Minnesota; over 400,000 records. It is the principal source of well construction information and geologic interpretations of well records and also contains soil boring records, mineral exploration test hole records, and scientific/research test hole records.
The CWI Enhancement Project:
• Updated the application operational system.
• Updated the online CWI application to allow use of a variety of base maps and made the information more easily accessible.
• Provided additional information such as well sealing records, well disclosure information and scanned images of well records.
Scanned 100,000 pre-1990 well records into CWI.
• Entered or updated over 107,000 additional well records in CWI.
• Replaced CWI Online with the new Minnesota Well Index (MWI).
