Jefferson County well depths

What 574 positive-depth household records tell you

Jefferson County has 574 domestic reports, and all 574 include a positive borehole depth. Those records have a 210-foot median, and their middle half runs from 157.75 to 231.5 feet. The 90th-percentile planning marker is 295 feet, while the full recorded range is 20 to 657 feet.

These 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.

Plain answer: Jefferson County’s domestic records center near 210 feet, but a useful estimate starts with the exact property, nearby comparable records, intended use, access, and source documents—not a countywide promise.

Regional Gulf Coast Aquifer cross section shown for Jefferson County planning
The Chicot, Evangeline, and regional Jasper aquifers are separated by confining units across the Gulf Coast system. This regional cross section can frame questions, but it does not predict the producing interval, depth, yield, salinity, or water quality at one Jefferson County property.
What the county records contain

Jefferson County’s well file serves several purposes

Domestic use accounts for 574 of the county’s 4,020 submitted reports. Monitoring and environmental work dominate the file, so their shallow investigation depths should not be merged into a household planning comparison.

574

Domestic records

All 574 household reports include a positive borehole depth. Their median is 210 feet, and the middle half runs from 157.75 to 231.5 feet.

2,400

Monitor records

Monitoring is the largest group. Its 20-foot median reflects an investigation purpose and should not be merged with household records.

477

Environmental borings

Environmental soil-boring filings have a 15-foot median and their own site-investigation context.

254

Rig-supply records

Rig-supply filings have a 207.5-foot median. Their operational demand is not a household planning cohort.

81

Irrigation records

Irrigation filings have a 144-foot median and should remain attached to their reported purpose.

The file also contains 69 test-well records, 46 stock records, 39 injection records, 36 industrial records, 22 records labeled Other, 9 extraction records, 7 public-supply records, and 3 each for de-watering and closed-loop geothermal.

Depth patterns by reported use

Jefferson County records need to be sorted by purpose

A countywide average that blends shallow monitoring and environmental work with household, rig-supply, irrigation, industrial, public-supply, and other wells is not a clean comparison. Household planning should begin with domestic records while keeping every filing’s reported purpose in view.

What shapes a drilling estimate

The complete Jefferson 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.

01

Property access

Roads, gates, low branches, overhead lines, utility conflicts, turning room, drainage, and a safe stabilized work pad.

02

Water demand

Household use, livestock, irrigation, storage, treatment, and peak daily needs.

03

Pump and power

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

04

Complete installation

Casing, completion materials, testing, storage, plumbing, treatment, cleanup, and startup.

Start with the property

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

Share the address, intended use, access, timing, and any existing well information. TurnKey Wells reviews the project context and connects the owner with a qualified water-well professional for the next step.

Plan the whole water system

Separate drilling footage from the finished system

A complete Jefferson 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.

The Gulf Coast Aquifer guide can help frame regional questions, but a regional label does not predict the producing interval, total depth, water level, yield, salinity, or water quality at one property. Use nearby records and property-specific research before treating any county pattern as a drilling plan.

Property-specific well research

Pre-Drill Intelligence Report

$199 one-time report

The county information on this page shows broad patterns. The paid report narrows the research to one Jefferson 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.

Jefferson County well questions

Plain answers before you plan the work

What do Jefferson County household well records show?

The county file includes 574 positive domestic borehole-depth logs with a 210-foot median and a 157.75-to-231.5-foot middle band. A property-level comparison is still needed before planning a new well.

Why should Jefferson County records be separated by use?

The submitted reports include domestic wells alongside monitoring, environmental, rig-supply, irrigation, test, stock, injection, industrial, public-supply, and other uses. Keeping each purpose separate produces a cleaner household planning picture.

Does Gulf Coast Aquifer context predict one property?

No. Regional aquifer context does not prove the producing interval, total depth, water level, yield, salinity, or water quality at one property.

Which groundwater rules apply in Jefferson County?

Registration, permitting, spacing, construction, and reporting requirements can depend on the property, district boundary, 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.

County community context

Water well planning across Jefferson County

Property owners ask about well planning around Beaumont, Port Arthur, Nederland, Groves, Port Neches, China, Nome, Hamshire, 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.
