Bastrop County well depths

What 1,811 positive-depth household records tell you

Bastrop County has 1,813 domestic reports, including 1,811 with a positive borehole depth. Those positive-depth logs have a 340-foot median, while their middle half runs from 240 to 450 feet. The calculated 90th-percentile marker is 560 feet, and the full recorded positive range is 20 to 1,150 feet.

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

Plain answer: Bastrop County records show meaningful household borehole-depth variation. Start with the exact property and the most relevant nearby domestic reports—not a countywide number by itself.

Bastrop County Water Well Casing Installation
Before mobilization, confirm the gate and access route are wide enough for the drilling rig and support trucks, with room to turn and stage. Check overhead clearance, a load-bearing route, utilities and wastewater conflicts, drainage, and a clear path from the entrance to the planned drilling area.
What the county records contain

Bastrop County’s well file serves several purposes

Domestic filings lead Bastrop County’s 2,607 submitted reports with 1,813 records, followed by 256 irrigation, 155 monitoring, 137 stock, 125 environmental soil-boring, 43 industrial, 31 public-supply, and 28 test-well records. Keep those purposes separate so agricultural, monitoring, livestock, investigative, industrial, and public-supply work does not distort household planning.

1,811

Domestic depth logs

Of 1,813 domestic filings, 1,811 include a positive depth. Their 340-foot median and 240-to-450-foot middle band provide the cleanest household comparison.

256

Irrigation depth logs

All 256 irrigation filings include a positive depth, with a 335-foot median and a separate water-demand profile.

137

Stock depth logs

All 137 stock filings include a positive depth, with a 360-foot median and a separate operating-demand profile.

31

Public-supply depth logs

All 31 public-supply filings include a positive depth, with a 680-foot median and a different demand profile.

28

Test-well depth logs

All 28 test-well filings include a positive depth, with a 230-foot median tied to investigative work rather than household demand.

The remaining mix includes 155 monitoring, 125 environmental soil-boring, 43 industrial, 13 closed-loop geothermal, four rig-supply, one other-use, and one de-watering record.

Depth patterns by reported use

Bastrop County records need to be sorted by purpose

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

What shapes a drilling estimate

The complete Bastrop 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 Bastrop 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 Bastrop 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.

Bastrop County well questions

Plain answers before you plan the work

What do Bastrop County household well records show?

The county file includes 1,811 positive domestic borehole-depth logs with a 340-foot median, a 240-to-450-foot middle band, a 560-foot calculated 90th percentile, and a 20-to-1,150-foot full range.

Why should Bastrop County records be separated by use?

Domestic records lead the file, followed by irrigation, monitoring, stock, environmental soil-boring, industrial, public-supply, test-well, geothermal, rig-supply, other-use, and de-watering 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 Bastrop County?

Registration, permitting, spacing, construction, and reporting requirements can depend on the Bastrop County 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, elevation and drainage details, startup, and cleanup.

County community context

Water well planning across Bastrop County

Property owners ask about well planning around Bastrop, Elgin, Smithville, Cedar Creek, McDade, county roads, farms, homesites, and rural acreage between them. Start with the exact address or coordinates, intended water use, access, utilities, wastewater components, and nearby domestic records; a community label does not prove shared subsurface conditions, water quality, yield, or private-well feasibility.
