What 1,144 household well records tell you
Gonzales County has 1,144 domestic reports with a positive borehole depth. Their median is 340 feet, and the middle half runs from about 243 to 440 feet. The 90th-percentile planning marker is 520 feet, while the full recorded range is 20 to 990 feet.
Those figures describe a historical county sample, not a standard for one property. Local geology, the water-bearing interval, intended demand, construction choices, access, and nearby well records can all change the scope. A shallow filing is not a best-case budget, and the upper end is not a drilling ceiling.

Recorded domestic borehole depths
The middle half of reported domestic borehole depths
Gonzales County’s well file serves several purposes
Domestic use accounts for 1,144 of the county’s 2,334 submitted reports. Stock, rig-supply, monitoring, industrial, environmental, fracking-supply, public-supply, irrigation, test, other, and injection records stay separate so their different purposes do not distort household planning.
Domestic records
Positive household borehole-depth logs. The median is 340 feet, and the middle half runs from about 243 to 440 feet.
Stock records
Stock use is the second-largest group. Its 336-foot median reflects a different water-use plan and should not be silently merged with household records.
Rig-supply records
Rig-supply reports have a 450-foot median. Their demand and purpose differ from a private household well.
Monitor records
Monitoring work is a separate cohort, with 147 positive-depth reports and a 30-foot median.
Industrial records
Industrial filings have their own demand and construction context.
The file also contains 105 environmental soil borings, 44 fracking-supply records, 35 public-supply records, 27 irrigation records, 14 test wells, 2 other records, and 1 injection record.
Gonzales County records need to be sorted by purpose
A countywide average that blends shallow monitoring and environmental work with household, stock, industrial, and public-supply wells is not a clean comparison. Household planning should begin with domestic records while keeping every filing’s reported purpose in view.
The complete Gonzales County job is more than drilling footage
Gate width, road conditions, overhead lines, septic placement, distance to power, intended demand, and equipment choices all belong in the plan.
Property access
Roads, gates, low branches, overhead lines, utility conflicts, turning room, drainage, and a safe stabilized work pad.
Water demand
Household use, livestock, irrigation, storage, treatment, and peak daily needs.
Pump and power
Pump selection, anticipated drawdown, electrical service, controls, pressure equipment, line runs, and trenching.
Complete installation
Casing, completion materials, testing, storage, plumbing, treatment, cleanup, and startup.

Separate drilling footage from the finished system
A complete Gonzales County budget may include mobilization, drilling, casing, completion materials, pump and controls, pressure equipment, trenching, electrical work, storage, testing, treatment, drainage, and cleanup. The Texas water well drilling cost guide explains the major categories behind a headline estimate.
Regional Carrizo-Wilcox context can help frame questions, but an aquifer name does not predict the producing interval, total depth, water level, yield, or water quality at one property. The Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer guide provides background without replacing property-specific research.

Pre-Drill Intelligence Report
The county information on this page shows broad patterns. The paid report narrows the research to one Gonzales County property before you compare drilling quotes or choose the next step for your land.
- Nearby recorded wells and reported depths
- Property access and site-planning questions
- Questions to ask before drilling begins
- A clearer picture of the complete water system
Understand the ground before you drill. Property conditions can change across the county. A property-specific review brings nearby well records, location, intended use, access, and complete-system questions together before you request a drilling quote.

Plain answers before you plan the work
What do Gonzales County household well records show?
The county file includes 1,144 positive domestic borehole-depth logs with a 340-foot median and an approximately 243-to-440-foot middle band. A property-level comparison is still needed before planning a new well.
Why should Gonzales County records be separated by use?
The submitted reports include domestic wells alongside stock, rig-supply, monitoring, industrial, environmental, public-supply, irrigation, test, and other uses. Keeping each purpose separate produces a cleaner household planning picture.
Does a Carrizo-Wilcox label predict one property?
No. Regional aquifer context does not prove the producing interval, total depth, water level, yield, or water quality at one property.
Which groundwater rules apply in Gonzales County?
Registration, permitting, spacing, construction, and reporting requirements can depend on the property, well type, and intended use. Confirm current requirements before work begins.
What should a complete drilling quote include?
Compare mobilization, drilling, casing, completion materials, pump and controls, pressure equipment, electrical and trenching work, testing, treatment or storage where needed, startup, and cleanup.
Water well planning across Gonzales County
Property owners ask about well planning around Gonzales, Waelder, Nixon, Smiley, Harwood, Leesville, Belmont, Cost, and rural acreage between them. Start with the exact address or coordinates, intended water use, access, utilities, and nearby domestic records; a community label does not prove shared geology, water quality, or private-well feasibility.
