Erath County well depths

What Erath County records show

Among 3,174 domestic records, 3,173 contain a valid reported depth. The median is 370 feet, the middle half runs from 200 to 415 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 120 to 455 feet. These county patterns set context; they do not predict the depth at one address.

Stock records are also well supported: 384 valid depths, a 300-foot median, a 135–415-foot middle half, and a 2017 median completion year. The 305 irrigation records have a 397-foot median, a 177–455-foot middle half, and a 2014 median completion year.

Plain answer: County records can 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

Keep non-producing records separate

The county file is not one group of identical producing wells. Separating household, stock, and irrigation records from monitoring, environmental, and specialized uses keeps those records from being mistaken for residential expectations.

3,174

Domestic wells

3,173 records have valid depths. The median is 370 feet, the middle half is 200–415 feet, and the median completion year is 2016.

384

Stock wells

All 384 records have valid depths. The median is 300 feet, the middle half is 135–415 feet, and the median completion year is 2017.

305

Irrigation wells

All 305 records have valid depths. The median is 397 feet, the middle half is 177–455 feet, and the median completion year is 2014.

363

Test, monitoring, and environmental records

The file contains 37 test wells, 235 monitoring wells, and 91 environmental soil borings. Their medians are 420, 17, and 8 feet; their middle halves are 100–460, 14–20, and 4–11.5 feet; and their median completion years are 2013, 2009, and 2007. These are not ordinary household or producing-well expectations.

138

Specialized and other reported uses

This group includes 51 rig-supply, 38 industrial, 32 public-supply, nine other, five closed-loop geothermal, two injection, and one de-watering record. Categories below 20 records do not receive representative depth or completion-year claims.

Erath County groundwater context

Trinity Aquifer, Cross Timbers, and district context

The stored major-aquifer layer places most analyzed Erath County geometry in Trinity Aquifer context. The Cross Timbers minor-aquifer layer also intersects part of the county. Aquifer layers overlap and do not assign a producing formation to one tract.

The stored district layer maps Middle Trinity Groundwater Conservation District across about 99.94% of the analyzed county geometry. Tiny Upper Trinity and Prairielands intersections are boundary slivers. Confirm jurisdiction and current requirements from exact property coordinates and official sources.

Why the address matters: nearby records, aquifer context, and district boundaries become more useful when 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.

Erath County well questions

Plain answers before you plan the work

How deep are domestic wells in Erath County?

Among 3,174 domestic records, 3,173 have valid reported depths. The median is 370 feet and the middle half runs from 200 to 415 feet. These are county record patterns, not a prediction for one property.

What do stock-well records show in Erath County?

The 384 stock records all have valid reported depths. Their median is 300 feet and the middle half runs from 135 to 415 feet.

What do irrigation-well records show in Erath County?

The 305 irrigation records all have valid reported depths. Their median is 397 feet and the middle half runs from 177 to 455 feet.

Are all 4,364 records producing water wells?

No. The total includes 37 test wells, 235 monitoring wells, 91 environmental soil borings, and 138 specialized or other records. They remain separate from producing-use depth expectations.

Which aquifer applies to an Erath County property?

The stored layers show Trinity major-aquifer context across most analyzed county geometry and a Cross Timbers minor-aquifer intersection. Exact coordinates and nearby records are needed for property-level interpretation.

Which groundwater district rules apply?

The stored district layer maps Middle Trinity Groundwater Conservation District across about 99.94% of analyzed county geometry. Confirm jurisdiction and current rules for the exact property coordinates before drilling.
