As of November 14, 2025, the State Engineer's Office will no longer accept out-of-date forms. The only acceptable version of the forms can be found below. Forms submitted on old, expired versions will be rejected and require resubmission on the proper and current forms found below.

Wells associated with cancelled permits may also be locked and tagged out under the authority of the local Hydrographer.
