What 4,415 positive-depth domestic records show
The Gillespie County file contains 4,417 domestic-use reports, including 4,415 with a positive borehole depth. The middle half runs from 164 to 343.5 feet, with a 238-foot median; P10 is 120 feet and P90 is 500 feet. The median domestic completion year is 2015, and the latest submitted date in the county summary is March 2, 2026.
Population estimates rose from 26,766 in 2020 to 28,159 in 2024—an increase of 1,393 residents, or 5.20%. Property change can tighten Hill Country access, alter utilities and drainage, and make coordination with power, septic, structures, trenching, storage, orchard or vineyard operations, and future site work more important.
County records help frame questions; the quote is built from the property location, access, demand, and complete-system scope.
Gillespie County’s well file includes different work categories
Domestic records belong in the household review lane. Stock, monitoring, irrigation, environmental, public-supply, test-well, injection, industrial, geothermal, and other specialized filings serve different purposes.
Domestic records
4,415 positive depths; 238-foot median and a 164–343.5-foot middle band.
Stock records
Median 208.5 feet; livestock demand differs from household use.
Monitoring records
Median 25 feet; a monitoring purpose.
Irrigation records
Median 242 feet; a separate demand and equipment profile.
Environmental records
Median 15 feet; investigation work, not household supply.
Public-supply records
Median 280 feet; a separate public-supply purpose.
Test-well records
Median 310 feet; a testing purpose.
Injection records
Median 40 feet; kept separate from domestic comparisons.
Other specialized records
Geothermal, industrial, other, and unknown filings remain separate.
Start with the domestic distribution
Blending household records with stock, monitoring, irrigation, environmental, public-supply, test-well, injection, industrial, or geothermal work creates a misleading average.
The complete Gillespie County job is more than drilling footage
Texas Hill Country ranch, orchard, and vineyard acreage needs deliberate access and staging: all-weather limestone road base, gate width, turning geometry, overhead clearance, granite or limestone work-pad conditions, utilities, power, septic, drainage, neighbors, 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 Gillespie 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 Gillespie 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.
