Water Well Drilling in Coleman County, Texas

Water Well Drilling in Coleman County, Texas

Coleman County is quintessential west Texas ranch and farm country, bordered by Brown County to the south and Callahan County to the east. Rural landowners here have relied on private water wells for domestic supply, livestock operations, and irrigation for well over a century. With 329 wells on record with the TCEQ, Coleman County is a moderately active drilling area with a strong domestic and agricultural character. TurnKey Wells serves Coleman County with professional, licensed water well drilling and service.

Coleman County Well Data at a Glance

Based on TCEQ well records, Coleman County drilling activity breaks down as follows:

  • Total wells on record: 329
  • Average pump depth: approximately 122 feet
  • Maximum recorded depth: 270 feet
  • Primary well uses: Domestic (122 wells), Stock (87 wells), Industrial (13 wells), Irrigation (15 wells)

Coleman County is noteworthy for its relatively shallow average pump depths compared to surrounding counties. Many residential and stock wells produce reliably at 100 to 200 feet, which helps keep drilling costs moderate for property owners. Deeper wells up to 270 feet are drilled where shallower zones are insufficient or water quality requires a deeper source.

Aquifer and Geology Overview

Coleman County sits over several water-bearing formations. The Hickory Aquifer, associated with the Llano Uplift basement sands, underlies portions of the county and provides a deep, high-quality source where accessed. Shallower alluvial aquifers along the Colorado River and its tributaries (including the Jim Ned Creek drainage) offer accessible groundwater at relatively modest depths, particularly in the eastern and central parts of the county.

The county’s geology includes limestone, sandstone, and shale sequences from the Permian and pre-Cambrian eras, which influence both well depths and water chemistry. Slightly elevated mineral content (hardness, iron, or sulfates) is possible in some zones, and water testing after drilling is always recommended.

Estimated Water Well Costs in Coleman County

Based on typical local conditions and depths, here are general cost guidelines for water well work in Coleman County:
