Ellis County records
What Ellis County records show
All 268 domestic records contain a valid reported depth. The median is 432.5 feet, the middle half runs from 340 to 740 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 80 to 915.1 feet. These county patterns set context; they do not predict the depth at one address.
The 43 stock records are supported: all have valid depths, with a 520-foot median, a 61.5–810-foot middle half, and a 2013 median completion year. The 59 irrigation records are also supported: 58 have valid depths, with a 762.5-foot median, a 340–936.5-foot middle half, and a 2009 median completion year.
| Record type | Valid depths | Median depth | Middle half | Median year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Domestic | 268 | 432.5 ft | 340–740 ft | 2019 |
| Stock | 43 | 520 ft | 61.5–810 ft | 2013 |
| Irrigation | 58 | 762.5 ft | 340–936.5 ft | 2009 |
The year describes the records, not present condition or remaining life.
Keep non-producing records separate
The file also contains 11 test wells, 628 monitoring wells, and 249 environmental soil borings. Test wells fail the support threshold. Supported monitoring records have a 25-foot median, a 20–30-foot middle half, and a 2014 median completion year. Supported environmental soil borings have a 13-foot median, a 7.5–19-foot middle half, and a 2012 median completion year. These are not household or producing-well expectations.
Another 116 records cover 37 injection, 24 closed-loop geothermal, 22 public-supply, 20 other, 11 industrial, and two rig-supply records. Injection, closed-loop geothermal, public supply, and other meet the threshold: their medians are 20, 250, 875, and 32.5 feet respectively, with median completion years 2006, 2010.5, 2010.5, and 2020. Label these as specialized; representative claims are suppressed for industrial and rig supply because they are below 20 valid records.

Aquifer and district context
The stored layers show Trinity major-aquifer context across 950.567628 of 951.881908 analyzed square miles and Woodbine minor-aquifer context across 887.599357 analyzed square miles. A 0.14199-square-mile Nacatoch intersection is treated as a boundary sliver, not material county context. Layers can overlap and do not assign a producing formation to one tract.
The stored groundwater-district layer shows material Prairielands Groundwater Conservation District coverage across 950.990574 of 951.881908 analyzed square miles. Separate 0.044244-square-mile Neches & Trinity Valleys and 0.022976-square-mile Northern Trinity intersections are treated as boundary slivers, not material county coverage. Confirm jurisdiction and current requirements from exact property coordinates and current official district sources.

Frequently asked questions
How deep are domestic wells in Ellis County?
All 268 domestic records have valid reported depths. The median is 432.5 feet and the middle half runs from 340 to 740 feet. These are county record patterns, not a prediction for one property.
What do stock-well records show in Ellis County?
All 43 stock records have valid reported depths. Their median is 520 feet and the middle half runs from 61.5 to 810 feet.
What do irrigation records show in Ellis County?
Of 59 irrigation records, 58 have valid reported depths. Their median is 762.5 feet and the middle half runs from 340 to 936.5 feet. These county records are context, not a tract-specific prediction.
Are all 1,374 records producing water wells?
No. The total includes 11 test wells, 628 monitoring wells, 249 environmental soil borings, and 116 specialized or other records. They remain separate from producing-use depth expectations.
Which aquifer applies to an Ellis County property?
The stored layers show Trinity major-aquifer context across nearly all analyzed county geometry and a material Woodbine minor-aquifer intersection. Exact coordinates and nearby records are needed for property-level interpretation.
Which groundwater district rules apply in Ellis County?
The stored district layer shows material Prairielands Groundwater Conservation District coverage across nearly all analyzed county geometry. Confirm jurisdiction and current rules for exact property coordinates before drilling.
