What 3,050 positive-depth household records tell you
Lavaca County has 3,050 domestic reports, and all 3,050 include a positive borehole depth. Those records have a 176.5-foot median, and their middle half runs from 134 to 228 feet. The 90th-percentile planning marker is 290 feet, while the full recorded range is 7.88 to 1,000 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.

Recorded domestic borehole depths
The middle half of positive reported domestic borehole depths
Lavaca County’s well file serves several purposes
Domestic use accounts for 3,050 of the county’s 4,271 submitted reports. Rig-supply, stock, environmental, industrial, monitoring, irrigation, and other filings should stay attached to their reported purposes instead of being blended into a household planning comparison.
Domestic records
All 3,050 household reports include a positive borehole depth. Their median is 176.5 feet, and the middle half runs from 134 to 228 feet.
Rig-supply records
Rig-supply filings have a 260-foot median and an operational purpose distinct from a household water well.
Stock records
Stock-water filings have a 185-foot median and should remain attached to their reported demand and use.
Environmental borings
Environmental soil-boring filings have a 20-foot median and their own investigation context.
Industrial records
Industrial filings have a 305-foot median and should not be treated as household comparables.
The file also contains 100 monitor records, 45 irrigation records, 39 fracking-supply records, 10 public-supply records, 4 records labeled Other, 3 test-well records, 1 injection record, and 1 closed-loop geothermal record.
Lavaca County records need to be sorted by purpose
A countywide average that blends household, rig-supply, stock, environmental, industrial, monitoring, irrigation, and other work is not a clean comparison. Household planning should begin with domestic records while keeping every filing’s reported purpose in view.
The complete Lavaca 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.
Property access
Roads, gates, low branches, overhead lines, utility conflicts, turning room, drainage, and a safe stabilized work pad.
Water demand
Household use, livestock, irrigation, storage, treatment, and peak daily needs.
Pump and power
Pump selection, anticipated drawdown, electrical service, controls, pressure equipment, line runs, and trenching.
Complete installation
Casing, completion materials, testing, storage, plumbing, treatment, cleanup, and startup.
Build the estimate around what the Lavaca 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.
Separate drilling footage from the finished system
A complete Lavaca 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 frame regional questions, but an aquifer 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.

Pre-Drill Intelligence Report
The county information on this page shows broad patterns. The paid report narrows the research to one Lavaca 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.

Plain answers before you plan the work
What do Lavaca County household well records show?
The county file includes 3,050 positive domestic borehole-depth logs with a 176.5-foot median and a 134-to-228-foot middle band. A property-level comparison is still needed before planning a new well.
Why should Lavaca County records be separated by use?
The submitted reports include domestic wells alongside rig-supply, stock, environmental, industrial, monitoring, irrigation, fracking-supply, public-supply, test, injection, geothermal, and other uses. Keeping each purpose separate produces a cleaner household planning picture.
Does a Gulf Coast Aquifer label 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 Lavaca 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.
Water well planning across Lavaca County
Property owners ask about well planning around Hallettsville, Shiner, Yoakum, Moulton, Sweet Home, Sublime, Moravia, Wied, 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.
