What nearby well records tell you
Palo Pinto County’s domestic records have a median reported depth of 200 feet. The middle half runs from 160 to 300 feet, while the 10th–90th percentile range extends from 120 to 405 feet. That spread is more useful than one countywide “typical depth” because it shows how much recorded projects differ.
Other water-supply uses tell different stories. Stock-well records have a median depth of 200 feet and a middle half of 140 to 240 feet. Irrigation records have a median depth of 247.5 feet and a middle half of 180 to 355 feet. Their broader 10th–90th percentile ranges extend from 100 to 340 feet for stock wells and from 100 to 478.5 feet for irrigation wells. Intended use and the exact tract matter.

Palo Pinto County records cover water supply, monitoring, and subsurface work
The county file is not one group of identical producing wells. It includes household, stock, and irrigation records along with monitoring wells, environmental soil borings, test wells, and specialized uses. Separating those groups keeps shallow monitoring or soil-boring records from being mistaken for household-well depths.
Domestic wells
Private-property and household water records. Of 1,164 records, 1,161 have a valid reported depth. The median is 200 feet, the middle half runs from 160 to 300 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 120 to 405 feet.
Stock wells
Water records tied to livestock and ranch use. All 115 have a valid reported depth. The median is 200 feet, the middle half runs from 140 to 240 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 100 to 340 feet.
Irrigation wells
Wells reported for crop, pasture, landscape, or other irrigation use. Of 115 records, 114 have a valid reported depth. The median is 247.5 feet, the middle half runs from 180 to 355 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 100 to 478.5 feet.
Test, monitoring, and environmental records
This group includes 208 monitoring wells, 101 environmental soil borings, and 20 test wells. These records describe subsurface and environmental work in Palo Pinto County, but they are not ordinary household or producing wells and should not be used as household-depth expectations. The 20 test wells have an unusually broad middle half of 17.25 to 190 feet, so they should not be treated as one uniform water-supply group.
Specialized and other reported uses
This group includes 13 rig-supply wells, 10 industrial wells, 10 public-supply wells, six injection records, and four closed-loop geothermal records. Each category is too sparse for representative customer depth or completion-year claims under the 20-record support rule.
Different uses show materially different depth patterns
Palo Pinto County’s water-supply records span broad depth ranges. Monitoring wells and environmental soil borings are much shallower because they serve different purposes. Each row below is calculated only from that record type—not from all 1,766 county records.
The year shown is the median completion year within each record group. It describes the records, not the present condition or remaining life of a particular well. Palo Pinto County’s 20 test-well records have a particularly wide depth distribution; their middle half spans 17.25 to 190 feet, so the 35-foot median must not be used as a household-depth expectation.
Cross Timbers context depends on the property
The official stored aquifer layers place Palo Pinto County in Cross Timbers minor-aquifer context. A small area—about 16.24 square miles, or roughly 1.65% of the analyzed county—also intersects Trinity major-aquifer context. That limited overlap does not mean every Palo Pinto County tract belongs to a Trinity setting, and a countywide page cannot assign an aquifer to one address.
The stored groundwater-district layer shows no material Palo Pinto County coverage. Tiny Upper Trinity and Middle Trinity boundary overlaps total less than 0.16 square mile and are treated as mapping slivers, not evidence that either district governs a Palo Pinto tract. Current requirements and the exact district should still be checked using the property coordinates and current official jurisdiction sources.
The complete job is more than drilling by the foot
A useful estimate should account for the property, how the water will be used, and the equipment needed to deliver it.
Property access
Roads, gates, slopes, overhead lines, neighborhood constraints, and room for the drilling rig.
Water demand
Home use, livestock, irrigation, storage, and peak daily needs.
Pump and power
Pump size, electrical service, controls, pressure tank, and trenching.
Complete installation
Casing, testing, treatment, storage, plumbing, cleanup, and startup.

Know what should be included before work begins
A drilling quote is easier to compare when each major piece is visible. TurnKey Wells helps organize the project so the estimate covers the well and the equipment that makes it usable.

Plain answers before you plan the work
How deep are domestic wells in Palo Pinto County?
Of 1,164 domestic records, 1,161 have a valid reported depth. Their median is 200 feet, the middle half runs from 160 to 300 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 120 to 405 feet. Those are county record patterns, not a prediction for one address.
How do Palo Pinto County stock and irrigation depths compare?
All 115 stock records have a valid reported depth; their median is 200 feet and their middle half runs from 140 to 240 feet. Of 115 irrigation records, 114 have a valid depth; their median is 247.5 feet and their middle half runs from 180 to 355 feet. The intended use and exact tract still matter.
Are all 1,766 records producing water wells?
No. The total includes 208 monitoring wells, 101 environmental soil borings, 20 test wells, and 43 specialized-use records. Those categories are separated from domestic, stock, and irrigation records so shallow environmental work is not mistaken for household-well depth. The test-well group is also unusually varied, with a middle half from 17.25 to 190 feet.
Which aquifer applies to a Palo Pinto County property?
The official stored layers place the county in Cross Timbers minor-aquifer context. Only a small area—about 16.24 square miles, or roughly 1.65% of the analyzed county—intersects Trinity major-aquifer context. Property coordinates and nearby records are needed before assigning aquifer context to one tract.
Which groundwater district rules apply?
The stored district layer shows no material Palo Pinto County coverage. Tiny Upper Trinity and Middle Trinity boundary overlaps are mapping slivers, so current rules and the exact district should still be checked by property coordinates before drilling begins.
What is the difference between a drilling quote and the $199 report?
A drilling quote prices the proposed work and equipment. The Pre-Drill Intelligence Report organizes nearby records, aquifer context, and groundwater-district information around one property before you compare quotes.
