Washington County well depths

What 3,586 positive-depth household records tell you

Washington County has 3,590 domestic reports, and 3,586 include a positive borehole depth. Those positive-depth logs have a 235-foot median, while their middle half runs from 178 to 298 feet. The calculated 90th-percentile marker is 388 feet, and the full recorded range is 10 to 710 feet.

The distribution is useful planning context, but it is not a property estimate. Nearby comparable records, intended demand, access, pump setting, casing and sealing choices, utilities, drainage, source documents, and site conditions still belong in the review.

Plain answer: Washington County records provide a practical comparison band, not a promised depth. Start with the exact property and the most relevant nearby domestic reports.

What the county records contain

Washington County’s well file serves several purposes

Domestic filings account for 3,590 of the county’s 4,260 submitted reports, followed by 127 rig-supply, 119 stock, 116 irrigation, 113 industrial, and 95 monitoring records. Smaller categories remain part of the file instead of being folded into the household comparison.

3,586

Domestic depth logs

Of 3,590 domestic filings, 3,586 include a positive depth. Their 235-foot median and 178-to-298-foot middle band provide the cleanest household comparison.

127

Rig-supply depth logs

All 127 rig-supply filings include a positive depth, with a 550-foot median and a purpose that does not match household demand.

119

Stock depth logs

All 119 stock filings include a positive depth, with a 274-foot median tied to livestock use rather than household demand.

116

Irrigation depth logs

All 116 irrigation filings include a positive depth, with a 385-foot median and a separate water-demand profile.

113

Industrial depth logs

All 113 industrial filings include a positive depth, with a 470-foot median and a separate project purpose.

The remaining mix includes 95 monitoring, 47 environmental soil-boring, 27 fracking-supply, 12 public-supply, seven other, three closed-loop geothermal, two test-well, one injection, and one unknown-use record.

Depth patterns by reported use

Washington County records need to be sorted by purpose

A countywide average that blends household wells with rig-supply, stock, irrigation, industrial, monitoring, environmental, fracking-supply, public-supply, geothermal, test-well, injection, and other work is not a clean comparison. Household planning should begin with the domestic records.

What shapes a drilling estimate

The complete Washington County job is more than drilling footage

Gate width, road conditions, overhead lines, septic placement, distance to power, intended demand, and equipment choices all belong in the plan.

01

Property access

Roads, gates, low branches, overhead lines, utility conflicts, turning room, drainage, and a safe stabilized work pad.

02

Water demand

Household use, livestock, irrigation, storage, treatment, and peak daily needs.

03

Pump and power

Pump selection, anticipated drawdown, electrical service, controls, pressure equipment, line runs, and trenching.

04

Complete installation

Casing, completion materials, testing, storage, plumbing, treatment, cleanup, and startup.

Start with the property

Build the estimate around what the Washington County property actually needs.

Share the address, intended use, access, timing, and any existing well information. TurnKey Wells reviews the project context and connects the owner with a qualified water-well professional for the next step.

Plan the whole water system

Separate drilling footage from the finished system

A complete Washington County budget may include mobilization, drilling, casing, completion materials, pump and controls, pressure equipment, trenching, electrical work, storage, testing, treatment, drainage, and cleanup. The Texas water well drilling cost guide explains the major categories behind a headline estimate.

The Pre-Drill Report can bring nearby well records and property details into one review, but no county pattern predicts the producing interval, total depth, water level, yield, salinity, or water quality at one property. Use property-specific research before treating a county pattern as a drilling plan.

Property-specific well research

Pre-Drill Intelligence Report

$199 one-time report

The county information on this page shows broad patterns. The paid report narrows the research to one Washington County property before you compare drilling quotes or choose the next step for your land.

  • Nearby recorded wells and reported depths
  • Property access and site-planning questions
  • Questions to ask before drilling begins
  • A clearer picture of the complete water system

Understand the ground before you drill. Property conditions can change across the county. A property-specific review brings nearby well records, location, intended use, access, and complete-system questions together before you request a drilling quote.

Washington County well questions

Plain answers before you plan the work

What do Washington County household well records show?

The county file includes 3,586 positive domestic borehole-depth logs with a 235-foot median, a 178-to-298-foot middle band, a 388-foot calculated 90th percentile, and a 10-to-710-foot full range.

Why should Washington County records be separated by use?

Domestic records lead the file, followed by rig-supply, stock, irrigation, industrial, monitoring, environmental soil-boring, fracking-supply, public-supply, other, geothermal, test-well, injection, and unknown-use filings. Keeping each purpose separate avoids turning non-household work into a household expectation.

Does a countywide depth pattern predict one property?

No. County records do not prove the producing interval, total depth, water level, yield, salinity, or water quality at one property.

Which groundwater rules apply in Washington County?

Registration, permitting, spacing, construction, and reporting requirements can depend on the property, district boundary, well type, and intended use. Confirm current requirements before work begins.

What should a complete drilling quote include?

Compare mobilization, drilling, casing, completion materials, pump and controls, pressure equipment, electrical and trenching work, testing, treatment or storage where needed, startup, and cleanup.

County community context

Water well planning across Washington County

Property owners ask about well planning around Brenham, Burton, Chappell Hill, Washington, Independence, Gay Hill, Latium, and rural acreage between them. Start with the exact address or coordinates, intended water use, access, utilities, drainage, and nearby domestic records; a community label does not prove shared geology, water quality, or private-well feasibility.
