Collin County well depths

What nearby well records tell you

Collin County’s 125 domestic records have a median reported depth of 860 feet. The middle half runs from 420 to 1,120 feet, while the 10th–90th percentile range extends from 72 to 1,524.4 feet. That spread is more useful than one countywide “typical depth” because recorded projects differ substantially.

Stock-well records have a median depth of 1,000 feet, a middle half of 900 to 1,390 feet, and a 10th–90th percentile range of 750 to 1,620 feet. Irrigation records have an 880-foot median, a middle half of 715 to 1,020 feet, and a broader range from 80 to 1,476 feet. Intended use and the exact tract matter.

Plain answer: Collin County records can help set expectations, but they cannot assign a drilling depth to one property. The address, nearby wells, aquifer context, site access, water demand, and complete system all belong in the planning conversation.

What the county records contain

Collin County records cover water supply, monitoring, and subsurface work

The county file is not one group of identical producing wells. It includes household, stock, and irrigation records along with monitoring wells, environmental soil borings, test wells, and specialized uses. Separating those groups keeps shallow monitoring or soil-boring records from being mistaken for household-well depths.

125

Domestic wells

Private-property and household water records. All 125 have a valid reported depth. The median is 860 feet, the middle half runs from 420 to 1,120 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 72 to 1,524.4 feet.

101

Stock wells

Water records tied to livestock and ranch use. All 101 have a valid reported depth. The median is 1,000 feet, the middle half runs from 900 to 1,390 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 750 to 1,620 feet.

436

Irrigation wells

Wells reported for crop, pasture, landscape, or other irrigation use. Of these, 433 have a valid reported depth. The median is 880 feet, the middle half runs from 715 to 1,020 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 80 to 1,476 feet.

3,386

Test, monitoring, and environmental records

This group includes 1,839 monitoring wells, 1,482 environmental soil borings, and 65 test wells. They describe subsurface and environmental work, but they are not ordinary household or producing wells and should not be used as household-depth expectations.

272

Specialized and other reported uses

This group includes 149 closed-loop geothermal records, 59 records marked “other,” 29 injection records, 19 public-supply wells, 14 industrial wells, one de-watering record, and one rig-supply well. Small categories should not be turned into representative depth expectations.

Depth and record history

Different uses show materially different depth patterns

Collin County’s water-supply records span broad depth ranges. Monitoring wells and environmental soil borings are much shallower because they serve different purposes. Each row is calculated only from that record type—not from all 4,320 county records.

Record typeMedian depthMiddle halfMedian completion year
Domestic860 ft420–1,120 ft2013
Stock1,000 ft900–1,390 ft2012
Irrigation880 ft715–1,020 ft2008
Test wells22 ft15–35 ft2022
Monitoring wells20 ft15–25 ft2014
Environmental soil borings10 ft6–15 ft2012

The year shown is the median completion year within each record group. It describes the records, not the present condition or remaining life of a particular well.

Collin County groundwater context

Trinity and Woodbine context depends on the property

Most of Collin County lies within Trinity major-aquifer context, and Woodbine minor-aquifer context is also material across the county. That does not mean every Collin County tract belongs to the same aquifer setting, and a countywide page cannot assign an aquifer to one address.

Nearly all of Collin County lies within North Texas Groundwater Conservation District context. A tiny Red River Groundwater Conservation District boundary sliver is not material countywide coverage, so current requirements and the exact district should still be checked using property coordinates.

Why the address matters: nearby well records, aquifer context, and groundwater-district boundaries become more useful when they are organized around the actual tract rather than the county as a whole.
What shapes a drilling estimate

The complete job is more than drilling by the foot

A useful estimate should account for the property, how the water will be used, and the equipment needed to deliver it.

01

Property access

Roads, gates, slopes, overhead lines, neighborhood constraints, and room for the drilling rig.

02

Water demand

Home use, livestock, irrigation, storage, and peak daily needs.

03

Pump and power

Pump size, electrical service, controls, pressure tank, and trenching.

04

Complete installation

Casing, testing, treatment, storage, plumbing, cleanup, and startup.

Property-specific well research

Pre-Drill Intelligence Report

$199 one-time report

The county information on this page shows broad Collin County patterns. The paid report narrows the research to one property before you compare drilling quotes or choose the next step for your land.

  • Nearby recorded wells and reported depths

Collin County well questions

Plain answers before you plan the work

How deep are domestic wells in Collin County?

The 125 domestic records have a median reported depth of 860 feet. The middle half runs from 420 to 1,120 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 72 to 1,524.4 feet. Those are county record patterns, not a prediction for one address.

Why do Collin County stock and irrigation depths vary?

The records cover different properties and water demands. Stock wells have a 1,000-foot median and a middle half of 900 to 1,390 feet. Irrigation wells have an 880-foot median and a middle half of 715 to 1,020 feet. One countywide expected depth would be misleading.

Are all 4,320 records producing water wells?

No. The total includes 1,839 monitoring wells, 1,482 environmental soil borings, 65 test wells, and 272 specialized or other records. Those categories are separated from domestic, stock, and irrigation records so shallow environmental work is not mistaken for household-well depth.

Which groundwater district rules apply?

Nearly all of Collin County lies within North Texas Groundwater Conservation District context. A tiny Red River district boundary sliver does not support a tract-level assignment, so current requirements and the exact district should still be checked using property coordinates before drilling begins.

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 groundwater-district information around one property before you compare quotes.
