What 910 positive-depth domestic records show
The Smith County file contains 910 domestic-use reports, all with a positive borehole depth. The middle half runs from 162 to 540 feet, with a 366-foot median; P10 is 82 feet and P90 is 680 feet. The median domestic completion year is 2013, and the latest submitted date in the county summary is February 12, 2026.
Population estimates rose from 234,200 in 2020 to 249,091 in 2024—an increase of 14,891 residents, or 6.36%. Property change can alter wooded-road access, utilities, drainage, and coordination with power, septic, structures, trenching, storage, irrigation, livestock, and future site work.
County records help frame questions; the quote is built from the property location, access, demand, and complete-system scope.

Smith County’s well file includes different work categories
Domestic records belong in the household review lane. Monitoring, irrigation, rig-supply, environmental, stock, test-well, injection, public-supply, de-watering, industrial, and other specialized filings serve different purposes.
Domestic records
910 positive depths; 366-foot median and a 162–540-foot middle band.
Monitoring records
Median 25 feet; a monitoring purpose, not household supply.
Irrigation records
Median 205 feet; a separate demand and equipment profile.
Rig-supply records
Median 270 feet; a separate operational purpose.
Environmental records
Median 15 feet; investigation work, not household supply.
Stock records
Median 520 feet; livestock demand differs from household use.
Test-well records
Median 40 feet; exploratory work kept separate.
Additional specialized records
81 injection, 63 public-supply, 44 de-watering, and 43 industrial filings remain separate.
Other specialized uses
43 other, 35 closed-loop geothermal, seven fracking-supply, and five extraction filings remain separate.
Start with the domestic distribution
Blending household records with monitoring, irrigation, rig-supply, environmental, stock, test-well, injection, public-supply, de-watering, industrial, or other specialized work creates a misleading average.
The complete Smith County job is more than drilling footage
Piney Woods acreage needs deliberate access and staging: road surface, gate width, turning geometry, overhead and tree clearance, a stable work pad, utilities, power, septic, drainage, neighbors, and future construction all belong in the review.
Access and staging
Road condition, gate width, turning room, overhead lines and trees, and a firm level pad for the drill truck and support vehicle.
Demand and storage
Household use, livestock, irrigation, fire reserve, storage, treatment, and peak daily needs.
Pump, power, and pressure
Pump selection, anticipated lift and drawdown, electrical service, controls, pressure equipment, line runs, and trenching.
Finished system
Mobilization, drilling, casing, completion materials, testing, pump and controls, storage or treatment, startup, and cleanup.
Build the estimate around what the Smith County property actually needs.
Send the exact location, intended water use, access constraints, power and utility details, and known parcel plans.
Separate drilling footage from the finished system
A complete Smith County budget may include mobilization, stable-pad setup, drilling, casing, completion materials, pump and controls, pressure equipment, trenching, electrical work, storage, testing, treatment, startup, and cleanup. The Texas water well drilling cost guide explains the major categories behind a headline estimate.
