Grayson County well depths

What nearby well records tell you

Grayson County’s 821 domestic records have a median reported depth of 340 feet. The middle half runs from 255 to 440 feet, while the 10th–90th percentile range extends from 164 to 670 feet. That spread is more useful than one countywide “typical depth” because recorded projects differ substantially.

Stock-well records have a median depth of 400 feet, a middle half of 280 to 650 feet, and a 10th–90th percentile range of 220.2 to 856 feet. Irrigation records have an 347.5-foot median, a middle half of 263.75 to 552.5 feet, and a broader range from 189.4 to 951 feet. Intended use and the exact tract matter.

Plain answer: Grayson County records can help 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

Grayson County records cover water supply, monitoring, and subsurface work

The county file is not one group of identical producing wells. It includes household, stock, and irrigation records along with monitoring wells, environmental soil borings, test wells, and specialized uses. Separating those groups keeps shallow monitoring or soil-boring records from being mistaken for household-well depths.

821

Domestic wells

Private-property and household water records. All 821 have a valid reported depth. The median is 340 feet, the middle half runs from 255 to 440 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 164 to 670 feet.

33

Stock wells

Water records tied to livestock and ranch use. All 33 have a valid reported depth. The median is 400 feet, the middle half runs from 280 to 650 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 220.2 to 856 feet.

140

Irrigation wells

Wells reported for crop, pasture, landscape, or other irrigation use. All 140 have a valid reported depth. The median is 347.5 feet, the middle half runs from 263.75 to 552.5 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 189.4 to 951 feet.

1,114

Test, monitoring, and environmental records

This group includes 585 monitoring wells, 491 environmental soil borings, and 38 test wells. They describe subsurface and environmental work, but they are not ordinary household or producing wells and should not be used as household-depth expectations.

122

Specialized and other reported uses

This group includes 32 public-supply wells, 24 rig-supply wells, 20 records marked “other,” 18 closed-loop geothermal records, 18 industrial wells, seven injection records, and three fracking-supply records. Small categories should not be turned into representative depth expectations.

Depth and record history

Different uses show materially different depth patterns

Grayson County’s water-supply records span broad depth ranges. Monitoring wells and environmental soil borings are much shallower because they serve different purposes. Each row is calculated only from that record type—not from all 2,230 county records.

Record typeMedian depthMiddle halfMedian completion year
Domestic340 ft255–440 ft2015
Stock400 ft280–650 ft2014
Irrigation347.5 ft263.75–552.5 ft2010
Test wells24.75 ft15–231.25 ft2020
Monitoring wells23.5 ft19–30 ft2015
Environmental soil borings11 ft7–18.75 ft2016

The year shown is the median completion year within each record group. It describes the records, not the present condition or remaining life of a particular well.

Grayson County groundwater context

Trinity and Woodbine context depends on the property

Grayson County lies predominantly within Trinity major-aquifer context. Another major part of the county intersects the Woodbine minor aquifer. That does not mean every Grayson County tract belongs to the same aquifer setting, and a countywide page cannot assign an aquifer to one address.

Nearly all of the analyzed county area falls within Red River Groundwater Conservation District context. A small North Texas Groundwater Conservation District boundary sliver is not material countywide coverage. Current requirements and the exact district should still be checked using the property coordinates.

Why the address matters: nearby well records, aquifer context, and groundwater-district boundaries become more useful when they are 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.

Property-specific well research

Pre-Drill Intelligence Report

$199 one-time report

The county information on this page shows broad Grayson County patterns. The paid report narrows the research to one property before you compare drilling quotes or choose the next step for your land.

  • Nearby recorded wells and reported depths

Grayson County well questions

Plain answers before you plan the work

How deep are domestic wells in Grayson County?

The 821 domestic records with a valid reported depth have a median of 340 feet. The middle half runs from 255 to 440 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 164 to 670 feet. Those are county record patterns, not a prediction for one address.

How do Grayson County stock and irrigation depths compare?

Stock wells have a median depth of 400 feet and a middle half of 280 to 650 feet. Irrigation wells have a median of 347.5 feet and a middle half of 263.75 to 552.5 feet, with a broader 10th–90th percentile range of 189.4 to 951 feet. The intended use and exact tract still matter.

Are all 2,230 records producing water wells?

No. The total includes 585 monitoring wells, 491 environmental soil borings, 38 test wells, and 122 specialized or other records. Those categories are separated from domestic, stock, and irrigation records so shallow environmental work is not mistaken for household-well depth.

Which aquifer applies to a Grayson County property?

Grayson County lies predominantly within Trinity major-aquifer context, while the Woodbine minor aquifer also intersects a material part of the county. Property coordinates and nearby records are needed before assigning aquifer context to one tract.

Which groundwater district rules apply?

Nearly all of the analyzed county area falls within Red River Groundwater Conservation District context. A small North Texas GCD boundary sliver exists, so current rules and the exact district should still be checked by property coordinates before drilling begins.

What is the difference between a drilling quote and the $199 report?

A drilling quote prices the proposed work and equipment. The Pre-Drill Intelligence Report organizes nearby records, aquifer context, and groundwater-district information around one property before you compare quotes.
