Water well drilling in Johnson County
A well on acreage outside Cleburne is not the same project as a well near Godley, Grandview, or Alvarado. Share the property 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 Johnson County have a median reported depth of 400 feet. The middle half runs from 245 to 530 feet, while the 10th-to-90th percentile span reaches from 200 to 715 feet. That spread is more useful than a single countywide number because the county covers different aquifer units and drilling conditions.
The exact plan still depends on the tract. A property near Cleburne may not match acreage west of Godley or a site closer to the Ellis 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
Johnson County records cover more than household wells
The county file includes domestic, stock, irrigation, industrial, public-supply, monitoring, and environmental records. Separating those uses keeps shallow monitoring borings and deep rig-supply wells from distorting the numbers a property owner is likely to use.
Domestic wells
Household and private-property water records. All 1,789 records include a reported depth. The median is 400 feet, the middle half runs from 245 to 530 feet, and the 10th-to-90th percentile span is 200 to 715 feet.
Stock wells
Records tied to livestock use. All 75 include a reported depth. The median is 280 feet, the middle half runs from 200 to 500 feet, and the 10th-to-90th percentile span is 150 to 780 feet.
Irrigation wells
Wells reported for crop, pasture, or landscape irrigation. All 210 include a reported depth. The median is 195 feet, the middle half runs from 150 to 540 feet, and the 10th-to-90th percentile span is 125 to 920 feet.
Test, monitoring, and environmental records
This group includes 58 test wells, 536 monitoring wells, and 375 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 290 rig-supply wells, 43 industrial wells, 36 public-supply wells, 31 closed-loop geothermal records, 15 records marked other, 12 injection wells, four fracking-supply wells, and three dewatering wells.
Different well uses produce different depth patterns
Domestic and stock records are the most relevant starting points for many rural properties. Monitoring and environmental records are much shallower, while rig-supply and some public or industrial wells can be substantially deeper.
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 and a stock tank are not the same design problem.
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
Understand the ground before you drill. Johnson County groundwater records include both Trinity Aquifer and Woodbine Aquifer assignments. The report organizes nearby records, aquifer context, and Prairielands Groundwater Conservation District information around the property so you can ask better questions before drilling begins.

Plain answers before you plan the work
Which groundwater district serves Johnson County?
Johnson County is within the Prairielands Groundwater Conservation District. The district states that wells drilled after April 1, 2011 must be registered, including wells that are exempt from permitting. Non-exempt wells require a permit. Confirm the current registration, spacing, fee, and permit requirements for the specific tract and proposed use before drilling.
Is every Johnson County well in the same aquifer?
No. Historical Groundwater Database records for the county include Trinity and Woodbine assignments. The Trinity records include several units, with Paluxy appearing most often in the county file. Aquifer assignment and usable water depth need to be checked near the property rather than assumed from a countywide label.
Are all 3,477 records producing water wells?
No. The total includes monitoring wells, environmental soil borings, test wells, rig-supply wells, industrial wells, public-supply wells, and other 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.
What is the difference between a drilling quote and the $199 report?
A drilling quote prices proposed work and equipment. The Pre-Drill Intelligence Report organizes nearby records, aquifer context, and district information around one property before you compare quotes.
What should a complete drilling quote include?
Look for mobilization, drilling, casing, pump and controls, pressure tank, power or trenching, testing, treatment or storage where needed, startup, and site cleanup.
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.
