Property-specific planning for Bowie-area wells
Water Well Drilling in Bowie, TX
Recent domestic well records carrying a Bowie address label span Montague, Jack and Clay counties and 470 feet of reported depth. Of the 309 records reviewed, 261 are coded to Montague County. Begin with the tract, nearby completions, Trinity and Seymour context, Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District requirements, septic placement and equipment access.

Bowie planning snapshot
A 220-foot median, with a 160-to-300-foot middle band
Half of the 309 recent domestic reports labeled Bowie fall between 160 and 300 feet. The full set runs from 50 to 520 feet; 139 records are 200 feet or shallower, while 31 reach 400 feet or more. The nearest comparable completions matter more than one citywide midpoint.
Bowie is the submitted city or address label, not a city-limits count. Of the 309 recent domestic reports in this set, 261 are coded to Montague County, 34 to Jack County and 14 to Clay County. The label covers a wider area than the city itself and does not identify the producing interval beneath one property.
What the Bowie records can and cannot tell you
The local record set is useful only after it is narrowed
The 309-report set has a 220-foot median, a middle half from 160 to 300 feet and a 10th-to-90th percentile span from 120 to about 392 feet. Thirty-seven records are 120 feet or shallower, while 31 reach 400 feet or more. Those figures are screening evidence. County, distance, completion date, construction and intended use matter more than the citywide midpoint.
TWDB describes the Trinity as a major aquifer across much of central and northeastern Texas and the Seymour as a minor aquifer in parts of north-central Texas. Those regional descriptions do not identify the water-bearing interval beneath one Bowie tract. A representative Bowie point falls inside the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District boundary in the current state file, so the exact address and current district requirements still need to be checked.
- Locate the tract precisely: confirm the street address or parcel, city or ETJ status, utility availability, septic layout and any subdivision restrictions.
- Keep the comparison residential: start with recent domestic completions near the property and in the same county instead of mixing them with irrigation, monitoring or public-supply work.
- Check jurisdiction before scheduling: confirm the exact county and district status, TDLR licensing, setbacks and local requirements before scheduling.
- Carry a complete-system budget: serious residential planning starts at $25,000+ because casing, pump, pressure equipment, electrical work, trenching, testing, treatment and access can matter as much as footage.
From property question to complete-system quote
Turn a mixed-depth record set into a tract-specific plan
Recent Bowie-labeled domestic records run from 50 to 520 feet. Use that spread to frame questions, then narrow the comparison by county, distance, completion date and construction before treating any depth or budget as relevant to the property.
Pin down the tract
Confirm the street address or parcel, intended use, utility status, septic plan and any existing well history.
Trim the record set
Compare recent domestic completions by distance, date, depth and construction instead of treating all 309 reports as equally relevant.
Check rules and access
Confirm the exact tract’s district status, TDLR-licensed drilling, setbacks, overhead clearance and a workable rig route.
Price the whole system
Compare scopes that cover drilling, casing, pump, pressure or storage equipment, electrical work, trenching, testing and possible treatment.

Bowie water-well questions
Four questions to settle before drilling
How deep are domestic wells labeled Bowie in recent reports?
The 309 domestic reports completed since 2020 with total depth recorded have a 220-foot median. The middle half runs from 160 to 300 feet. Those submitted-record patterns are comparison context, not a depth prediction for one property.
How should Bowie-area groundwater-district status be checked?
Check the exact address or coordinates against the current state district map and the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District. The representative Bowie point falls inside that district boundary in the current file, but a city label is not a parcel-level jurisdiction check.
What should I budget for a complete residential well?
Use $25,000+ as a serious starting point for a complete residential system, not as a quote. Deeper construction, difficult access, casing, pump and pressure equipment, electrical work, trenching, testing and treatment can move the total higher.
What is included in the $199 Pre-Drill Intelligence Report?
The report organizes property-specific nearby depths, reported yield where available, aquifer and groundwater-district context, driller activity and site-review questions before you compare quotes.
