Water well drilling in Hamilton County
Acreage near Hamilton can present a different drilling plan from property around Hico, Evant, Carlton, or Pottsville. Share the location and what the water needs to support, and TurnKey Wells will help you move toward a useful drilling estimate.

What nearby well records tell you
Domestic well records in Hamilton County have a median reported depth of 452 feet. The middle half runs from 378 to 530 feet, while the 10th-to-90th percentile span reaches from 150 to 609 feet. Those figures describe 1,108 domestic records and provide a stronger planning baseline than a countywide average that mixes many well uses.
The exact plan still depends on the property. A site near Hamilton may not match acreage outside Hico, land closer to Evant, or a tract near the Comanche County line. Nearby records, aquifer assignment, access, power, household demand, livestock use, irrigation, storage, and treatment needs all belong in the conversation.
Recorded domestic well depths
The middle half of reported domestic depths
Hamilton County records reflect homes, ranches, and irrigation
Domestic and stock wells make up most of the submitted county file. Irrigation records add another planning category. Monitoring wells, test wells, and environmental borings should still be separated so their shallow depths do not distort the numbers a rural property owner is likely to use.
Domestic wells
Household and private-property water records. All 1,108 include a reported depth. The median is 452 feet, the middle half runs from 378 to 530 feet, and the 10th-to-90th percentile span is 150 to 609 feet.
Stock wells
Records tied to livestock use. All 257 include a reported depth. The median is 440 feet, the middle half runs from 340 to 520 feet, and the 10th-to-90th percentile span is 150 to 592 feet.
Irrigation wells
Wells reported for crop, pasture, or landscape irrigation. All 66 include a reported depth. The median is 460 feet, the middle half runs from 402 to 534 feet, and the 10th-to-90th percentile span is 160 to 600 feet.
Test, monitoring, and environmental records
This group includes 15 test wells, 28 monitoring wells, and four environmental soil borings. These records describe subsurface work in the county, but they should not be counted as ordinary household water wells.
Other reported uses
This group includes nine rig-supply wells, eight closed-loop geothermal records, four industrial wells, three records marked other, three injection records, and two public-supply wells.
Different well uses produce different depth patterns
Domestic, stock, and irrigation records center between 440 and 460 feet. Monitoring and environmental work is much shallower and should not be used as a residential depth shortcut.
The year shown is the median completion year within each record group. It describes the historical file, not the present condition or expected service life of a particular well.

The complete job is more than drilling by the foot
A useful estimate should account for where the rig can work, which water-bearing unit is being targeted, how much water the property needs, and the equipment required to deliver it.
Property access
County roads, gates, slopes, overhead lines, septic setbacks, and enough room for the drilling rig and support equipment.
Water demand
Household use, livestock, irrigation, storage, and peak demand. A home, cattle operation, and irrigation system require different planning.
Pump and power
Pump setting, electrical service, controls, pressure tank, trenching, and the distance from the well to the point of use.
Complete installation
Casing, testing, pump equipment, storage or treatment when needed, plumbing, startup, and site cleanup.

Know what should be included before work begins
A drilling quote is easier to compare when each major piece is listed. The well, pump, controls, pressure system, power, trenching, storage, treatment, testing, and cleanup should not be reduced to one unexplained total.

Pre-Drill Intelligence Report
The county numbers on this page show broad patterns. The paid report narrows the research to one property before you compare drilling quotes or decide how to plan the water system.
- Nearby recorded wells and reported depths
- Property and groundwater district information
- Questions to ask before drilling begins
- A clearer picture of the complete water system
Historical Hamilton County Groundwater Database records are dominated by Trinity Aquifer assignments, especially Hensell and Paluxy. Other and unassigned records also appear. The report organizes nearby records, aquifer context, and current groundwater district information around the property so you can ask better questions before drilling begins.

Plain answers before you plan the work
Does one groundwater district cover all of Hamilton County?
Do not assume one countywide district boundary applies to every Hamilton County property. District status can change near county lines, especially around Evant. Check the exact property with the Groundwater Conservation District Lookup and confirm current Texas Water Development Board boundaries before drilling.
Why does the exact property location matter for district rules?
Well registration, spacing, permitting, reporting, and production requirements depend on the current district boundary and the tract. Confirm the address, parcel history, and current rules before relying on a general county description.
Is every Hamilton County well in the same aquifer?
No. Historical Groundwater Database records for the county include Trinity, other, and unassigned records. Trinity is the largest family in the file, but the aquifer assignment still needs to be checked near the property.
Are all 1,507 records producing water wells?
No. The total includes monitoring wells, environmental soil borings, test wells, and several specialized uses. This page separates those records so they are not mistaken for household wells.
Can county records predict the depth on one property?
No. County records show patterns, not a guaranteed depth or yield. Nearby records, aquifer conditions, the property location, access, intended use, and the complete water system are needed for a useful drilling conversation.
Do statewide licensing rules also apply?
Yes. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation states that a license is required to drill a water-related well in Texas and to install a pump for a water-related well.
What if the property may already have a well?
Start with the free Texas well check to review public records near the address before planning new work.
