What 5,407 positive-depth domestic records show
The Gaines County file contains 5,408 domestic-use reports, including 5,407 with a positive borehole depth. The middle half runs from 165 to 220 feet, with a 198-foot median; P10 is 145 feet and P90 is 254 feet. The median domestic completion year is 2019, and the latest submitted date in the county summary is March 2, 2026.
Population estimates rose from 21,704 in 2020 to 22,892 in 2024—an increase of 1,188 residents, or 5.47%. Property change can alter access, utilities, drainage, and coordination with power, septic, structures, trenching, storage, livestock, irrigation, and future site work.
County records help frame questions; the quote is built from the property location, access, demand, and complete-system scope.
Gaines County’s well file includes different work categories
Domestic records belong in the household review lane. Irrigation, environmental, monitoring, industrial, test-well, stock, public-supply, rig-supply, injection, fracking-supply, and other specialized filings serve different purposes.
Domestic records
5,407 positive depths; 198-foot median and a 165–220-foot middle band.
Irrigation records
Median 205 feet; a separate high-demand agricultural profile.
Environmental records
Median 20 feet; investigation work, not household supply.
Monitoring records
Median 100 feet; a monitoring purpose.
Industrial records
162 positive depths with a 210-foot median.
Test-well records
Median 190 feet; a testing purpose.
Stock records
Median 147.5 feet; livestock demand differs from household use.
Public and rig supply
Medians 205 and 152 feet; separate supply purposes.
Other specialized records
Injection, fracking-supply, other, and unknown filings remain separate.
Start with the domestic distribution
Blending household records with irrigation, environmental, monitoring, industrial, test-well, stock, public-supply, rig-supply, injection, or fracking-supply work creates a misleading average.
The complete Gaines County job is more than drilling footage
High Plains farm, ranch, and rural acreage needs deliberate access and staging: all-weather road condition, loose or sandy shoulders, gate width, turning geometry, overhead clearance, a stable work pad, utilities, power, septic, drainage, neighbors, active agricultural traffic, and future construction all belong in the review.
Access and staging
All-weather road condition, gate width, turning room, overhead lines, and a firm level pad for the drill truck and support vehicle.
Demand and storage
Household use, livestock, irrigation, fire reserve, storage, treatment, and peak daily needs.
Pump, power, and pressure
Pump selection, anticipated lift and drawdown, electrical service, controls, pressure equipment, line runs, and trenching.
Finished system
Mobilization, drilling, casing, completion materials, testing, pump and controls, storage or treatment, startup, and cleanup.
Build the estimate around what the Gaines County property actually needs.
Send the exact location, intended water use, access constraints, power and utility details, and known parcel plans.
Separate drilling footage from the finished system
A complete Gaines County budget may include mobilization, stable-pad setup, drilling, casing, completion materials, pump and controls, pressure equipment, trenching, electrical work, storage, testing, treatment, startup, and cleanup. The Texas water well drilling cost guide explains the major categories behind a headline estimate.
The GWDB reference set contains 1,866 Gaines County records.
