Show DELAWARE 201 Water well drillers, or well contractors, are required to be li- censed.89 A "water well contractor" is defined by that statute to mean: an individual, firm or corporation with whom a contract is made for the purpose of constructing or repairing a water well or water test well or install- ing pumping equipment in a water well or water test well.90 Any operator or employee who is actively involved in the drill- ing, boring, coring, driving, digging, construction, installation or repair of water wells or pumping equipment must be under the supervision of a licensed water well contractor.91 Licenses are issued to water well contractors pursuant to an ex- amination designed to test their knowledge of the proper method of constructing water wells, and also on their knowledge of the Com- mission's rules and regulations pertaining to water wells.92 As pointed out in section 2.1 of this chapter, both the department and the commission are involved in the administration and regulation of water well contractors, and questions arising from that arrange- ment need not be repeated here. It might be noted, however, that the commission's regulations provide some administrative clarity. Regulation II establishes the water well contractors advisory board, comprised of five members, one of whom is a member of the water and air resources commission, and who serves as chairman of the board. Under this regulation, the board actually conducts all ex- aminations of applicants for well contractor licenses. Regulation II requires that in certain circumstances a geophysical log must be made on wells, that certain test pumping be performed, and that periodic samples be collected.
