What 1,461 positive-depth household records tell you
Matagorda County has 1,462 domestic reports, and 1,461 include a positive borehole depth. Those positive-depth logs have a 407-foot median, and their middle half runs from 338 to 475 feet. The 90th-percentile planning marker is 545 feet, while the full recorded range is 53 to 3,000 feet.
These figures describe historical county records, not a standard for one property. The water-bearing interval, intended demand, construction choices, access, nearby wells, salinity, and field conditions can all change the scope.

Recorded domestic borehole depths
The middle half of positive reported domestic borehole depths
Matagorda County’s well file serves several purposes
Domestic use accounts for 1,462 of the county’s 3,084 submitted reports. Monitoring, stock, irrigation, rig-supply, environmental, industrial, test, public-supply, other, injection, geothermal, and unknown filings should stay attached to their reported purposes instead of being blended into a household planning comparison.
Domestic records
Of these household reports, 1,461 include a positive borehole depth. Their median is 407 feet, and the middle half runs from 338 to 475 feet.
Monitor records
All 392 monitoring filings include a positive depth. Their 25-foot median belongs to a distinct observation purpose.
Stock records
Of 390 stock-use filings, 389 include a positive depth. Their 150-foot median belongs to a different demand context.
Irrigation records
Irrigation filings have a 205-foot median and a different pumping-demand context.
Rig-supply records
Rig-supply filings have a 185-foot median and should remain outside household depth comparisons.
The file also contains 145 environmental soil-boring records, 112 industrial records, 36 test-well records, 23 public-supply records, 15 records labeled Other, and one each labeled injection, closed-loop geothermal, and unknown.
Matagorda County records need to be sorted by purpose
A countywide average that blends household, monitoring, stock, irrigation, rig-supply, environmental, industrial, test, public-supply, 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 Matagorda 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 Matagorda 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 Matagorda 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 Pre-Drill Report can bring nearby well records and property details into one review, but no county pattern predicts the producing interval, total depth, water level, yield, salinity, or water quality at one property. Use property-specific research before treating a 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 Matagorda 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 Matagorda County household well records show?
The county file includes 1,461 positive domestic borehole-depth logs with a 407-foot median and a 338-to-475-foot middle band. A property-level comparison is still needed before planning a new well.
Why should Matagorda County records be separated by use?
The submitted reports include domestic wells alongside monitoring, stock, irrigation, rig-supply, environmental, industrial, test, public-supply, and other uses. Keeping each purpose separate produces a cleaner household planning picture.
Does a countywide depth pattern predict one property?
No. County records do not prove the producing interval, total depth, water level, yield, salinity, or water quality at one property.
Which groundwater rules apply in Matagorda 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 Matagorda County
Property owners ask about well planning around Bay City, Palacios, Matagorda, Sargent, Van Vleck, 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, salinity, water quality, or private-well feasibility.
