What 134 positive-depth household records tell you
McLennan County has 134 domestic reports, and all 134 include a positive borehole depth. Those logs have a 1,090-foot median, while their middle half stretches from 80 to 1,180 feet. The 90th-percentile planning marker is 1,254 feet, and the full recorded range is 30 to 2,140 feet.
That unusually broad spread is a reason to avoid treating one county figure as a property estimate. Nearby comparable records, the intended demand, access, construction choices, source documents, and site conditions all belong in the review.

McLennan County’s well file serves several purposes
Domestic use accounts for 134 of the county’s 1,731 submitted reports. Monitoring and environmental work make up most of the file, so every filing should stay attached to its reported purpose instead of being blended into a household planning comparison.
Monitor records
All 826 monitoring filings include a positive depth. Their 25-foot median belongs to a distinct observation purpose.
Environmental soil-boring records
Of 518 environmental soil-boring filings, 515 include a positive depth. Their 10-foot median is not a household-well benchmark.
Domestic records
All 134 domestic reports include a positive depth. Their 1,090-foot median sits inside a wide 80-to-1,180-foot middle band.
Injection records
Injection filings have a 20-foot median and a different operating purpose.
Closed-loop geothermal records
Geothermal filings have a 300-foot median and should remain outside household comparisons.
The file also contains 32 test-well records, 24 irrigation records, 20 public-supply records, 18 records labeled Other, 14 stock records, six de-watering records, and four industrial records.
McLennan County records need to be sorted by purpose
A countywide average that blends household wells with monitoring, environmental, injection, geothermal, test, irrigation, public-supply, stock, de-watering, industrial, and other work is not a clean comparison. Household planning should begin with domestic records while keeping each filing’s reported purpose in view.
The complete McLennan 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 McLennan 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 McLennan 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 McLennan 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 McLennan County household well records show?
The county file includes 134 positive domestic borehole-depth logs with a 1,090-foot median and an 80-to-1,180-foot middle band. A property-level comparison is still needed before planning a new well.
Why should McLennan County records be separated by use?
Monitoring and environmental records make up most of the submitted file, alongside domestic, injection, geothermal, test, irrigation, public-supply, stock, de-watering, industrial, 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 McLennan 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 McLennan County
Property owners ask about well planning around Waco, McGregor, West, Hewitt, Robinson, Crawford, Moody, 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.
