Is your water source registered with the Canton ?

A private source is a valuable resource. However, many water sources are not registered in the official database of the Cantons in Switzerland.

Why is this important?

During construction projects or the installation of geothermal probes near your property, a registered water source can be taken into account by the authorities in the building permit process. If necessary, hydrogeological monitoring can be set up to verify that the work does not impact your source.

On the other hand, if your intake is not registered, it may not be identified during this process.

A simple process

Registration is quick but requires an intervention from a hydrogeologist. They will:

• measure the flow of your source;
• record its main physicochemical parameters;
• precisely locate the intake;
• write a short report submitted to the Canton.

Once your water source is registered, it can be considered in future projects carried out nearby.
