Water well drilling in Comanche County
Acreage outside Comanche can present a different drilling plan from property near De Leon, Gustine, or Sidney. Share the location and what the water needs to support, and TurnKey Wells will help you move toward a useful drilling estimate.

What nearby well records tell you
Domestic well records in Comanche County have a median reported depth of 140 feet. The middle half runs from 100 to 210 feet, while the 10th-to-90th percentile span reaches from 80 to 318 feet. Those figures describe 1,147 domestic records and provide a stronger planning baseline than a countywide average that mixes many well uses.
The exact plan still depends on the property. A site near Comanche may not match acreage north of De Leon or land closer to the Brown County line. Nearby records, aquifer assignment, access, power, household demand, livestock use, irrigation, storage, and treatment needs all belong in the conversation.
Recorded domestic well depths
The middle half of reported domestic depths
Comanche County records reflect homes, ranches, and irrigation
Domestic, irrigation, and stock wells make up most of the submitted county file. Monitoring wells, test wells, and environmental borings should still be separated so their shallow depths do not distort the numbers a rural property owner is likely to use.
Domestic wells
Household and private-property water records. All 1,147 include a reported depth. The median is 140 feet, the middle half runs from 100 to 210 feet, and the 10th-to-90th percentile span is 80 to 318 feet.
Stock wells
Records tied to livestock use. All 452 include a reported depth. The median is 140 feet, the middle half runs from 94 to 220 feet, and the 10th-to-90th percentile span is 70 to 317 feet.
Irrigation wells
Wells reported for crop, pasture, or landscape irrigation. Of these, 1,035 include a reported depth. The median is 110 feet, the middle half runs from 80 to 140 feet, and the 10th-to-90th percentile span is 65 to 180 feet.
Test, monitoring, and environmental records
This group includes 33 test wells, 80 monitoring wells, and 24 environmental soil borings. These records describe subsurface work in the county, but they should not be counted as ordinary household water wells.
Other reported uses
This group includes 27 records marked other, two rig-supply wells, two industrial wells, two closed-loop geothermal records, and one public-supply well.
Different well uses produce different depth patterns
Domestic and stock records both center near 140 feet. Irrigation records center near 110 feet, while monitoring and environmental work is much shallower.
The year shown is the median completion year within each record group. It describes the historical file, not the present condition or expected service life of a particular well.

The complete job is more than drilling by the foot
A useful estimate should account for where the rig can work, which water-bearing unit is being targeted, how much water the property needs, and the equipment required to deliver it.
Property access
County roads, gates, slopes, overhead lines, septic setbacks, and enough room for the drilling rig and support equipment.
Water demand
Household use, livestock, irrigation, storage, and peak demand. A home, cattle operation, and irrigation system require different planning.
Pump and power
Pump setting, electrical service, controls, pressure tank, trenching, and the distance from the well to the point of use.
Complete installation
Casing, testing, pump equipment, storage or treatment when needed, plumbing, startup, and site cleanup.

Know what should be included before work begins
A drilling quote is easier to compare when each major piece is listed. The well, pump, controls, pressure system, power, trenching, storage, treatment, testing, and cleanup should not be reduced to one unexplained total.

Pre-Drill Intelligence Report
The county numbers on this page show broad patterns. The paid report narrows the research to one property before you compare drilling quotes or decide how to plan the water system.
- Nearby recorded wells and reported depths
- Property and groundwater district information
- Questions to ask before drilling begins
- A clearer picture of the complete water system
Historical Comanche County groundwater records are dominated by Trinity Aquifer assignments, especially Twin Mountains. Cross Timbers and mixed Trinity/Cross Timbers assignments also appear. The report organizes nearby records, aquifer context, and Middle Trinity Groundwater Conservation District information around the property so you can ask better questions before drilling begins.

Plain answers before you plan the work
Which groundwater district serves Comanche County?
Comanche County is within the Middle Trinity Groundwater Conservation District. The district serves Bosque, Comanche, Coryell, and Erath counties and publishes separate well-registration and operating-permit forms.
When does the district call for an operating permit?
The district's current forms say an operating permit application is used when the well is expected to pump more than 17 gallons per minute or is on 10 acres or less, subject to stated exceptions and board approval. Confirm the current rule, tract history, spacing, registration, and permit requirements for the exact property before drilling.
Is every Comanche County well in the same aquifer?
No. Historical Groundwater Database records for the county include Trinity, Cross Timbers, mixed Trinity/Cross Timbers, other, and unassigned records. Trinity is the largest family in the file, but the aquifer assignment still needs to be checked near the property.
Are all 2,806 records producing water wells?
No. The total includes monitoring wells, environmental soil borings, test wells, and several specialized uses. This page separates those records so they are not mistaken for household wells.
Can county records predict the depth on one property?
No. County records show patterns, not a guaranteed depth or yield. Nearby records, aquifer conditions, the property location, access, intended use, and the complete water system are needed for a useful drilling conversation.
Do statewide licensing rules also apply?
Yes. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation states that a license is required to drill a water-related well in Texas and to install a pump for a water-related well.
What if the property may already have a well?
Start with the free Texas well check to review public records near the address before planning new work.
