What 2,893 household well records tell you
The domestic subset contains 2,893 positive total-depth logs. Their median reported depth is 260 feet, the middle half runs from 180 to 369 feet, and the 90th-percentile planning marker is 482 feet. The full recorded domestic range is 10 to 900 feet, with a 285.76-foot average.
Those markers describe a historical county sample, not a standard for every Fayette County property. Location, record date, elevation, construction details, intended demand, and the water-bearing interval can all change the relevance of a nearby filing. The 10-foot minimum is not a best-case budget, and 900 feet is not a drilling ceiling.
Recorded domestic well depths
The middle half of reported domestic depths
Fayette County’s well file serves several purposes
Domestic use accounts for 2,895 of the county’s 3,977 submitted driller records. Environmental borings, stock, monitor, rig-supply, industrial, irrigation, and public-supply records stay in separate groups so their different purposes do not distort household planning.
Domestic depth logs
Positive household total-depth logs. The median is 260 feet, the middle half runs from 180 to 369 feet, and the 90th-percentile marker is 482 feet.
Environmental borings
These records average 16.58 feet. Their purpose differs from a household completion, so they must not pull a domestic comparison downward.
Stock records
Stock records average 341.09 feet. They can add ranch context after domestic records are considered, but their demand and system design may differ.
Monitor records
Monitor records include 187 positive depth values averaging 31.16 feet. Keep them attached to their reported purpose and source row.
Other reported uses
Rig supply, industrial, irrigation, fracking supply, public supply, test wells, geothermal, and one other-use filing form smaller cohorts that should remain separate from domestic records.
Fayette County records need to be sorted by purpose
A countywide number that blends shallow monitoring work, household wells, and deeper high-demand uses is not a clean comparison. Household planning should begin with domestic records while keeping every record’s purpose, coordinates, date, and source together.

The complete Fayette County job is more than drilling footage
Gate width, overhead lines, slope, wet-weather access, septic placement, distance to power, intended demand, and equipment choices all belong in the plan.
Property access
Roads, gates, low brush, overhead lines, utility conflicts, turning room, and a safe stabilized work pad for the rig and support truck.
Water demand
Household use, livestock, irrigation, storage, treatment, and peak daily needs.
Pump and power
Pump selection, anticipated drawdown, electrical service, controls, pressure tank, line runs, and trenching.
Complete installation
Casing, completion materials, testing, storage, plumbing, treatment, freeze protection, cleanup, and startup.

Separate drilling footage from the finished system
A complete Fayette County budget may include mobilization, drilling, casing, completion materials, pump and controls, pressure equipment, trenching, electrical work, storage, testing, treatment, freeze protection, and cleanup. The Texas water well drilling cost guide explains the major categories behind a headline estimate.
The county file contains 2,291 positive domestic pump-depth values. Their median is 160 feet, the middle half runs from 120 to 200 feet, and the full recorded range is 12 to 630 feet. Historical pump depth does not prescribe a new setting; water level, drawdown, demand, pump characteristics, and the completed well control that decision. The Texas private-well maintenance guide can help organize questions about an existing system.

Understand the ground before you drill. The TWDB groundwater database contains 899 Fayette County rows: 482 carry the broad Gulf Coast label, 211 Yegua-Jackson, 35 Sparta, with smaller Queen City, Carrizo-Wilcox, mixed, other, and unassigned groups. These historical labels provide regional context but do not prove the producing interval, depth, yield, water level, or chemistry for a property. The Texas water wells guide explains why total depth, casing, completion, water level, pump setting, and intended use answer different questions. Fayette County lies within the Fayette County Groundwater Conservation District, which currently requires well registration and publishes separate spacing, exception, and non-exempt permitting guidance. Confirm the current form, classification, spacing, fee, and approval path directly with the district before drilling. The county’s 562 plugging-report rows show county history, not proof about a property. Use the Texas water-well disclosure guide when an existing well is part of a sale.

Plain answers before you plan the work
What do Fayette County household well records show?
The current file includes 2,893 positive domestic total-depth logs with a 260-foot median, a 180-to-369-foot middle band, and a 482-foot 90th-percentile marker. A property-level comparison is still needed before planning a new well.
Why should Fayette County records be separated by use?
The 3,977 submitted-driller rows include domestic wells, shallow environmental and monitor work, livestock wells, and deeper high-demand uses. Keeping each reported purpose separate produces a cleaner household planning picture.
Does an aquifer label identify the producing interval for a property?
No. Historical Gulf Coast, Yegua-Jackson, Sparta, and other database labels provide regional context but do not prove the producing interval, depth, water level, yield, or quality at one property.
Can a historical pump depth set a new pump?
No. The county file’s 2,291 positive domestic pump-depth values are historical records. A contractor should evaluate water level, drawdown, demand, pump characteristics, and the completed well.
What should I confirm before drilling in Fayette County?
Confirm current registration, spacing, exception, fee, classification, and any non-exempt permitting path directly with the Fayette County Groundwater Conservation District because requirements depend on the proposed well and use.
