Imaged Records

 


   

The Department is currently upgrading the Imaged Records Database

The Department is in the process of migrating all imaged files over to a new imaged records database, Xerox DocuShare.  This upgrade will allow users to access files more easily and will provide additional parameters when searching for files. This new database will be supported by all operating systems and web browsers, which our current database is not.  Upon completion of this upgrade, all files will be removed from the Fortis database.

 

Currently, Wells 55 files and Groundwater Authority files (Files that begin with the prefixes ‘56’, ‘57’, ‘58’, ‘59’, ‘60’, ‘61’, and ‘62’) are available to view on the new DocuShare site.

  • If you are searching for a well registration, you must have the well registration number or the cadastral location (legal description).
