What nearby well records tell you
Hood County’s 2,001 domestic records have a median reported depth of 360 feet. The middle half runs from 210 to 420 feet, while the 10th–90th percentile range extends from 149 to 489 feet. That spread is more useful than one countywide “typical depth” because recorded projects differ substantially.
Other water-supply uses tell different stories. Stock-well records have a median depth of 299 feet and a middle half of 172.5 to 416.5 feet. Irrigation records have a median depth of 325 feet and a middle half of 225 to 430 feet. Their broader 10th–90th percentile ranges extend from 139 to 456 feet for stock wells and from 150 to 502.7 feet for irrigation wells. Intended use and the exact tract matter.

Hood 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.
Domestic wells
Private-property and household water records. All 2,001 have a valid reported depth. The median is 360 feet, the middle half runs from 210 to 420 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 149 to 489 feet.
Stock wells
Water records tied to livestock and ranch use. Of 81 records, 79 have a valid reported depth. The median is 299 feet, the middle half runs from 172.5 to 416.5 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 139 to 456 feet.
Irrigation wells
Wells reported for crop, pasture, landscape, or other irrigation use. All 92 have a valid reported depth. The median is 325 feet, the middle half runs from 225 to 430 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 150 to 502.7 feet.
Test, monitoring, and environmental records
This group includes 226 monitoring wells, 69 environmental soil borings, and 22 test wells. These records describe subsurface and environmental work in Hood County, but they are not ordinary household or producing wells and should not be used as household-depth expectations. The 22 test wells have an unusually broad middle half of 15 to 456 feet, so they should not be treated as one uniform water-supply group.
Specialized and other reported uses
This group includes 91 rig-supply wells, 88 public-supply wells, 45 industrial wells, 11 closed-loop geothermal records, five injection records, and five records marked “other”. The smallest categories are too sparse for representative depth claims.
Different uses show materially different depth patterns
Hood 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 2,736 county records.
| Record type | Median depth | Middle half | Median completion year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Domestic | 360 ft | 210–420 ft | 2015 |
| Stock | 299 ft | 172.5–416.5 ft | 2015 |
| Irrigation | 325 ft | 225–430 ft | 2010 |
| Test wells | 138 ft | 15–456 ft | 2018.5 |
| Monitoring wells | 20 ft | 15–25 ft | 2018 |
| Environmental soil borings | 10 ft | 5–14 ft | 2018 |
Source: Texas Water Development Board Submitted Driller’s Reports, submissions through August 10, 2026. 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. Hood County’s 22 test-well records have a particularly wide depth distribution; their middle half spans 15 to 456 feet, so the 138-foot median must not be used as a household-depth expectation.
Trinity and Cross Timbers context depends on the property
Hood County lies within Trinity major-aquifer context. The Cross Timbers minor aquifer also intersects a smaller part of the county. That does not mean every Hood County tract belongs to the same aquifer setting, and a countywide page cannot assign an aquifer to one address.
Hood County is overwhelmingly within Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District context. Tiny neighboring-boundary overlaps do not support assigning Prairielands or Middle Trinity district status to a tract from this countywide page. Current requirements and the exact district should still be checked using the property coordinates.
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.
Property access
Roads, gates, slopes, overhead lines, neighborhood constraints, and room for the drilling rig.
Water demand
Home use, livestock, irrigation, storage, and peak daily needs.
Pump and power
Pump size, electrical service, controls, pressure tank, and trenching.
Complete installation
Casing, testing, treatment, storage, plumbing, cleanup, and startup.

Share the Hood County address, intended use, and timing. We will follow up to understand the project and explain the next step.
Know what should be included before work begins
A drilling quote is easier to compare when each major piece is visible. TurnKey Wells helps organize the project so the estimate covers the well and the equipment that makes it usable.

Plain answers before you plan the work
How deep are domestic wells in Hood County?
The 2,001 domestic records with a valid reported depth have a median of 360 feet. The middle half runs from 210 to 420 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 149 to 489 feet. Those are county record patterns, not a prediction for one address.
How do Hood County stock and irrigation depths compare?
Stock wells have a median depth of 299 feet and a middle half of 172.5 to 416.5 feet. Irrigation wells have a median of 325 feet and a middle half of 225 to 430 feet. The intended use and exact tract still matter.
Are all 2,736 records producing water wells?
No. The total includes 226 monitoring wells, 69 environmental soil borings, 22 test wells, and 245 specialized or other records. Those categories are separated from domestic, stock, and irrigation records so environmental and subsurface work is not mistaken for household-well depth.
Why are Hood County test-well depths so broad?
The 22 test-well records have a middle half from 15 to 456 feet. Test work can serve different investigative purposes, so that range and its 138-foot median should not be treated as a household-well depth expectation.
Which aquifer and groundwater district apply?
Hood County lies within Trinity major-aquifer context, with Cross Timbers minor-aquifer context in a smaller area. The county is overwhelmingly within Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District context. Property coordinates are still needed before assigning either context to one tract.
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.
