State and local governments procure plugging and abandonment services for orphaned wells under environmental compliance programs, construction services for new municipal potable water supply wells, maintenance and rehabilitation of aging production wells, and related geotechnical and hydrogeological engineering design services. The issuing bodies include state departments of environment and energy (Michigan, Mississippi, Texas), county utilities departments and water districts (Hillsborough, Marion, Collier, Volusia, Riverside), city water departments and public works agencies (Lubbock, Palm Bay, Bend, Santa Cruz, Austin), transit and regional water authorities, and special-purpose districts. Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy has issued multiple direct solicitations for orphaned well plugging in Gratiot and Montcalm counties, while county-level water utilities across Florida, California, and Wisconsin regularly procure well maintenance and construction services.
