Well Abandonment, Repair, and Replacement Fund (WARRF)

The Water Resources Department’s Well Abandonment, Repair, and Replacement Fund provides financial assistance to help Oregonians repair or replace and abandon a household well that is dry or that was damaged or destroyed by wildfire and no longer supplies enough water to sustain the household. This financial assistance is available to qualifying low- to moderate-income households or members of a federally recognized tribe in Oregon. To learn more about this program, visit our WARRF website.
