Hays County well depths

What 3,400 depth-bearing domestic records tell you

Hays County records include 3,404 domestic-use reports. Of those, 3,400 include a recorded borehole depth, with a 510-foot median. The middle half runs from 410 to 710 feet; P10 is 330 feet and P90 is 850 feet. The median domestic completion year is 2012.

Population estimates rose from 243,988 in 2020 to 292,029 in 2024 — an increase of 48,041 residents, or 19.69%. That growth can mean tighter staging, new roads and utilities, active construction, changing access, and more need to coordinate the well area with septic, power, drainage, structures, and future site work.

County records help frame questions; the drilling quote is built from the property location, access, demand, and complete-system scope.

Plain answer: Hays County’s positive domestic records center on a 510-foot midpoint and span a broad recorded range. Property-specific review controls the scope.

What the county records contain

Hays County’s well file serves several purposes

The 4,864 submitted reports separate domestic, environmental soil-boring, monitoring, irrigation, test-well, public-supply, stock, geothermal, injection, industrial, de-watering, other, and unknown uses. Use the domestic category for household comparisons and keep the other uses separate.

3,404

Domestic records

3,400 include recorded depths, with a 510-foot median and a 410-to-710-foot middle band.

546

Environmental soil-boring records

These have a 15-foot median and a purpose distinct from a domestic water-supply well.

478

Monitoring records

These have a 30-foot median tied to a different monitoring purpose.

110

Irrigation records

109 include recorded depths, with a 560-foot median.

49

Stock records

These have a 465-foot median and a separate livestock demand profile.

The remaining mix includes 77 test-well, 59 public-supply, 47 closed-loop geothermal, 42 injection, 39 other, 10 industrial, 2 de-watering, and 1 unknown-use reports.

Hays County records need to be sorted by purpose

For household planning, use the domestic subset rather than a countywide average that blends unrelated well purposes.

What shapes a drilling estimate

The complete Hays County job is more than drilling footage

Rapid development makes site coordination as important as footage: gates, grades, finished roads, overhead clearance, utilities, septic, drainage, power, and future construction all belong in the plan.

01

Access and staging

Road surface, gate width, slope, low branches, overhead lines, turning room, limestone or caliche pad conditions, and safe space for the rig and support vehicles.

02

Demand and storage

Household use, guest units, livestock, irrigation, fire reserve, storage, treatment, and peak daily needs.

03

Pump, power, and pressure

Pump selection, anticipated lift and drawdown, electrical service, controls, pressure equipment, line runs, and trenching.

04

Finished system

Mobilization, drilling, casing, completion materials, testing, pump and controls, storage or treatment, plumbing, startup, and cleanup.

Build the estimate around what the Hays County property actually needs.

Send the exact location, intended water use, access constraints, utilities and septic context, and known site plans. That creates a better starting point than county averages alone.

Hays County well questions

Plain answers before you plan the work

What do Hays County domestic well records show?

Hays County records include 3,400 domestic depth entries with a 510-foot median, a 410-to-710-foot middle band, P10 at 330 feet, and P90 at 850 feet. The median domestic completion year is 2012.

Why separate Hays County records by use?

The records separate domestic, environmental soil-boring, monitoring, irrigation, test-well, public-supply, stock, geothermal, injection, industrial, and other uses. Use the domestic category for household comparisons and keep the other uses separate.

Why is the exact property location important?

The address or coordinates help focus nearby-record comparisons and define access, demand, power, storage, treatment, and complete-system scope for the review.

What access details help start a Hays County review?

Provide the exact address or coordinates, road and gate widths, grade, surface and all-weather condition, turning and staging room, low branches or overhead lines, utilities and septic components, planned structures, power, and drainage constraints.

What should a complete drilling quote include?

Compare mobilization, stable-site setup, drilling, casing, completion materials, pump and controls, pressure equipment, electrical and trenching work, testing, treatment or storage where needed, startup, and cleanup.
