Water Well Drilling in Brown County, Texas

Brown County Well Data at a Glance

Based on Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) records, Brown County wells have the following profile:

  • Total wells on record: 1,151
  • Average pump depth: approximately 205 feet
  • Maximum recorded depth: 420 feet
  • Primary well use: Domestic (346 wells), Irrigation (248 wells), Stock (190 wells)

Most residential wells in Brown County tap into moderate-depth aquifer zones, with pump depths typically ranging from 150 to 300 feet. Irrigation and stock wells serve the county’s significant agricultural and ranching economy, making proper well construction and long-term maintenance critical for property owners.

Local Geology and Aquifer Conditions

Brown County straddles the transition between the Rolling Plains and the Edwards Plateau, giving it a varied subsurface geology. The primary water-bearing formations in the area include the Hickory Aquifer (part of the Llano Uplift system) and shallower alluvial deposits along the Colorado River corridor near Brownwood and Lake Brownwood.

The Hickory Sandstone is one of the most prolific aquifers in the region, capable of producing high-quality water at moderate depths. In portions of the county closer to the Colorado River valley, shallower wells in alluvial sand and gravel deposits can also yield good domestic supplies. Well yields and water quality vary by location, so a site evaluation is always recommended before drilling.
