The rural council says that we should do it at our own expense, although the neighbor says that if the well is located on the land of the rural council, then the rural council should pay for it?

In contrast to the public water supply, which is controlled by the state, the maintenance of a private well is the responsibility of the homeowner. It follows from the above that well owners are obliged to independently maintain, protect and maintain the high quality of their drinking water supplies. If the well is owned by the village council, it is accordingly assigned such an obligation.
