What 1,198 positive-depth household records tell you
Bell County has 1,199 domestic reports, and 1,198 include a positive borehole depth. Those positive-depth logs have a 540-foot median. Their middle half runs from 200 to 850 feet, the calculated 90th-percentile marker is 890 feet, and the full recorded positive range is 18 to 1,170 feet.
This record set is useful planning context, but it is not a property estimate. Nearby comparable records, intended demand, access, casing and sealing choices, pump setting, utilities, pressure equipment, treatment or storage needs, source documents, and site conditions still belong in the review.

Bell County’s well file serves several purposes
Bell County’s 3,253 submitted reports include 1,436 environmental soil-boring, 1,199 domestic, 451 monitoring, 35 stock, 33 irrigation, 26 closed-loop geothermal, 24 other-use, 23 test-well, 10 industrial, eight public-supply, seven injection, and one unknown-use record. Keep those purposes separate so environmental, monitoring, livestock, agricultural, geothermal, investigative, industrial, public-supply, injection, unknown, and other work does not distort household planning.
Domestic records
Of 1,199 domestic filings, 1,198 include a positive depth. Those positive values have a 540-foot median and a 200-to-850-foot middle band.
Environmental soil-boring records
Of 1,436 filings, 1,434 include a positive depth; their 4-foot median belongs to environmental investigation rather than household supply.
Monitoring records
All 451 monitoring filings include a positive depth, with a 25-foot median tied to monitoring rather than household demand.
Stock depth logs
All 35 stock filings include a positive depth, with a 190-foot median and a separate operating-demand profile.
Irrigation depth logs
All 33 irrigation filings include a positive depth, with a 440-foot median and a separate demand profile.
The remaining mix includes 26 closed-loop geothermal, 24 other-use, 23 test-well, 10 industrial, eight public-supply, seven injection, and one unknown-use record. Those categories remain part of the full county total, not the domestic comparison.
Bell County records need to be sorted by purpose
A countywide average that blends household wells with environmental soil-boring, monitoring, stock, irrigation, geothermal, test-well, industrial, public-supply, injection, unknown, and other filings is not a clean comparison. Household planning should begin with the domestic records.
The complete Bell 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 Bell 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 Bell 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 Bell County household well records show?
The county file includes 1,198 positive domestic borehole-depth logs with a 540-foot median, a 200-to-850-foot middle band, an 890-foot calculated 90th percentile, and an 18-to-1,170-foot full range.
Why should Bell County records be separated by use?
The file includes environmental soil-boring, domestic, monitoring, stock, irrigation, closed-loop geothermal, other-use, test-well, industrial, public-supply, injection, and unknown-use 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.
What property details help start a Bell County review?
Provide the exact address or coordinates, intended water use, access and turning constraints, utilities, 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, elevation and drainage details, startup, and cleanup.
Water well planning across Bell County
Property questions begin around Temple, Killeen, Belton, Harker Heights, Salado, county roads, 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.
