What nearby household well records tell you
Cochran County has 80 usable domestic total-depth logs. Their median reported depth is 205 feet, and the middle half runs from about 189 to 239 feet. The upper planning marker is about 256 feet, while the full recorded domestic range runs from 90 to 340 feet.
The county file is dominated by irrigation records, so a blended all-use average is not a household benchmark. Public pump-setting evidence is also too limited for a dependable county summary. A complete estimate still has to account for the property, intended use, pump and power needs, pressure equipment, testing, and service access.

Cochran County records serve different purposes
The county file is not one group of identical water wells. Separating household wells from irrigation, stock, monitoring, environmental, test, and industrial records makes the local depth picture more useful.
Domestic wells
Usable household total-depth logs. The median is 205 feet, the middle half runs from about 189 to 239 feet, the upper planning marker is about 256 feet, and the recorded range is 90 to 340 feet.
Irrigation wells
Irrigation records average about 227.0 feet in the county file. Their intended use and demand differ from a household well, so they belong in a separate comparison group.
Stock wells
Records tied to livestock use average about 205.1 feet. They add regional context but should not replace nearby household records when planning a residential supply well.
Monitoring and environmental records
This group includes 51 monitor wells averaging about 175.8 feet and 20 environmental soil borings averaging about 12.8 feet. These records describe different work and should not be blended into a household-well depth expectation.
Test wells
Test-well records average about 210.8 feet. The county file also contains smaller industrial, rig-supply, geothermal, injection, fracking-supply, public-supply, and unknown groups that belong in supporting context rather than an ordinary household comparison.
Cochran County’s large file is mostly irrigation records
Irrigation rows make up most of the county file. Keeping household, irrigation, stock, monitoring, test, environmental, and industrial records separate prevents a blended average from becoming a misleading household budget assumption.

Cochran County records are grouped by reported use, and this page summarizes positive total-depth values within those groups. Percentiles use linear interpolation on sorted values.

The complete job is more than drilling by the foot
Cochran County records help frame the depth conversation, but the complete system depends on the property, how the water will be used, and the equipment needed to deliver it.
Property access
Gates, overhead lines, utility conflicts, weather access, turning room, and space for the drilling rig and support equipment.
Water demand
Home use, livestock, irrigation, storage, and peak daily needs.
Pump and power
Pump selection, electrical service, controls, pressure tank, line runs, and trenching.
Complete installation
Casing, testing, treatment, storage, plumbing, cleanup, and startup.

Know what should be included before work begins
A drilling quote is easier to compare when each major piece is visible. Pump selection, electrical support, pressure equipment, storage, treatment, freeze protection, service access, and line runs can matter as much as the drilling footage. The Texas water well drilling cost guide explains the major cost categories.
- Mobilization and setup
- Drilling and casing
- Pump and controls
- Pressure tank
- Power and trenching
- Storage and treatment
- Water testing
- Site cleanup
Pre-Drill Intelligence Report
The county information on this page shows broad patterns. The paid report narrows the research to one Cochran County property before you compare drilling quotes or choose the next step for your land.
- Nearby recorded wells and reported depths
- Property access and site-planning questions
- Questions to ask before drilling begins
- A clearer picture of the complete water system
Understand the ground before you drill. See nearby recorded well depths, Ogallala Aquifer context, and local planning details organized around your property so you can ask better questions before drilling begins. The groundwater database contains 275 Cochran County rows: 265 are labeled Ogallala, 5 Edwards-Trinity (High Plains), 4 combined Ogallala/Edwards-Trinity (High Plains), and 1 Dockum. Those historical labels do not identify the producing interval, depth, yield, or water quality for a new well. The database also contains 164 plugging rows, which show county history rather than proof of a plugged or abandoned well on a particular property. Check the exact tract with the Texas groundwater conservation district lookup, and use the Texas water-well disclosure guide when an existing well is part of a sale.

Plain answers before you plan the work
What do Cochran County household well records show?
The county file includes 80 usable domestic total-depth logs with a 205-foot median and a middle band of about 189 to 239 feet. The recorded range is wider, so a property-level comparison is still needed before treating any county figure as a site expectation.
Why can a Cochran County average be misleading?
The county file contains 2,156 irrigation records and only 80 domestic records, along with stock, monitoring, test, environmental, and industrial rows. Separating records by reported use produces a more useful household planning picture.
What do Cochran County aquifer labels tell you?
Most Cochran County rows in the groundwater database are labeled Ogallala, with smaller Edwards-Trinity (High Plains), combined, and Dockum groups. Those historical labels provide regional context but do not identify the producing interval, depth, yield, or water quality for a new well on a specific property.
What is the difference between a drilling quote and the $199 report?
A drilling quote prices the proposed work and equipment. The Pre-Drill Intelligence Report organizes nearby records, aquifer context, and site-planning questions around one property before you compare quotes.
What information helps prepare a drilling estimate?
Share the property location, site access, intended water use, expected demand, available power, and any existing well information so the estimate can reflect the work the site may require.
Water Well Drilling Across Cochran County
From properties around Morton and Whiteface to rural addresses associated with Lehman and Bledsoe, Cochran County well planning starts with the location, intended water use, access, power, and the difference between household and irrigation records. The county file is irrigation-heavy, so a useful estimate should focus on comparable nearby domestic records rather than a blended county average. Share the property location and water needs to discuss the next step for your Cochran County project.
