What 706 positive-depth household records tell you
Cameron County has 706 domestic reports, and all 706 include a positive borehole depth. Those logs have a 105-foot median. Their middle half runs from 50 to 130.75 feet, the calculated 90th-percentile marker is 150 feet, and the full recorded positive range is 25 to 320 feet.
The median domestic completion year is 2007, with reported domestic completion years spanning 2001 through 2025. Record age is comparison context, not proof that an older or newer filing matches one tract.
Historical county records do not predict one property’s producing interval, total depth, water level, yield, water quality, or final price. In the Lower Rio Grande Valley and near the coast, a useful quote also needs all-weather access, turning and service clearance, low-lying drainage and flood planning, equipment elevation, salinity and corrosion-resistant material choices, intended demand, power, pressure equipment, storage, treatment, electrical and trenching work, startup, and cleanup.

Recorded domestic borehole depths
The middle half of 706 positive reported domestic depths
Cameron County’s well file serves several purposes
The 2,663 submitted reports include 966 monitor, 706 domestic, 559 environmental soil-boring, 323 irrigation, 41 stock, 28 public-supply, 22 test-well, 10 industrial, 6 other, 1 injection, 1 closed-loop geothermal. Keep those purposes separate so environmental, monitoring, irrigation, livestock, public-supply, test-well, industrial, injection, geothermal, or other non-household work does not distort household planning.
Domestic records
All 706 include positive depths, with a 105-foot median and a 50-to-130.75-foot middle band.
Monitor records
965 include positive depths, with a 20-foot median tied to a different monitoring purpose.
Environmental soil-boring records
These have a 12-foot median and a purpose distinct from a domestic water-supply well.
Irrigation records
These have a 50-foot median and a separate demand profile.
Stock records
These have a 75-foot median and a separate livestock demand profile.
The remaining mix includes 28 public-supply, 22 test-well, 10 industrial, 6 other, 1 injection, and 1 closed-loop geothermal records. They provide context without replacing a domestic comparison.
Cameron County records need to be sorted by purpose
A countywide average that blends household wells with monitor, environmental, irrigation, stock, public-supply, test-well, industrial, injection, geothermal, and other filings is not a clean comparison. Household planning should begin with the domestic records.
The complete Cameron 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.
Property access
Roads, gates, low branches, overhead lines, utility conflicts, turning room, drainage, and a safe stabilized work pad.
Water demand
Household use, livestock, irrigation, storage, treatment, and peak daily needs.
Pump and power
Pump selection, anticipated drawdown, electrical service, controls, pressure equipment, line runs, and trenching.
Complete installation
Casing, completion materials, testing, storage, plumbing, treatment, cleanup, and startup.
Build the estimate around what the Cameron 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.
Separate drilling footage from the finished system
A complete Cameron 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.

Plain answers before you plan the work
What do Cameron County household well records show?
The county file includes 706 positive domestic borehole-depth logs with a 105-foot median, a 50-to-130.75-foot middle band, a 150-foot calculated 90th percentile, and a 25-to-320-foot full range.
Why should Cameron County records be separated by use?
The file includes domestic, monitor, environmental soil-boring, irrigation, stock, public-supply, test-well, industrial, injection, closed-loop geothermal, and other filings. Keeping each purpose separate avoids turning non-household work into a household expectation.
Does a countywide depth pattern predict one property?
No. Historical statistics are comparison context, not a prediction of producing interval, total depth, water level, yield, water quality, or price for one property.
What Lower Rio Grande and coastal details help start a Cameron County review?
Provide the exact address or coordinates, intended water use, all-weather access and turning constraints, drainage and flood context, planned equipment elevation, salinity and corrosion exposure, available power, wastewater components, desired pressure, treatment or storage needs, and any nearby well documents you already have.
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, access, drainage, elevation and corrosion details, startup, and cleanup.
Water well planning across Cameron County
Property questions begin around Brownsville, Harlingen, San Benito, Los Fresnos, La Feria, Port Isabel, Laguna Vista, county roads, farms, homesites, ranches, and coastal or Lower Rio Grande Valley acreage. Start with the exact address or coordinates, intended water use, all-weather access, drainage and flood context, equipment elevation, salinity and corrosion exposure, power, storage needs, utilities, wastewater components, and nearby domestic records; a community label does not prove shared subsurface conditions, water quality, yield, or private-well feasibility.
