Parker County well depths

What nearby well records tell you

Parker County’s domestic records have a median reported depth of 240 feet. The middle half runs from 200 to 300 feet, while the 10th–90th percentile range extends from 170 to 380 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 220 feet and a middle half of 180 to 320 feet. Irrigation records have a median of 222 feet, but their middle half runs from 190 to 300 feet and their broader 10th–90th percentile range extends from 144 to 452 feet. Intended use and the exact tract matter.

Plain answer: Parker County records can help set expectations, but they cannot assign a drilling depth to one property. The address, nearby wells, aquifer context, site access, water demand, and complete system all belong in the planning conversation.

What the county records contain

Parker 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.

14,043

Domestic wells

Private-property and household water records. Of these, 14,042 have a valid reported depth. The median is 240 feet, the middle half runs from 200 to 300 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 170 to 380 feet.

422

Irrigation wells

Wells reported for crop, pasture, landscape, or other irrigation use. Of these, 419 have a valid reported depth. The median is 222 feet, the middle half runs from 190 to 300 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 144 to 452 feet. The broad spread should not be reduced to one expected irrigation-well depth.

279

Stock wells

Water records tied to livestock and ranch use. Of these, all 279 have a valid reported depth. The median is 220 feet, the middle half runs from 180 to 320 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 120 to 420 feet.

866

Test, monitoring, and environmental records

This group includes 610 monitoring wells, 213 environmental soil borings, and 43 test wells. These records describe subsurface and environmental work in Parker County, but they are not ordinary household or producing wells and should not be used as household-depth expectations.

402

Specialized and other reported uses

This group includes 173 rig-supply wells, 123 public-supply wells, 43 industrial wells, 24 records marked “other,” 19 closed-loop geothermal records, nine extraction records, nine injection records, and two fracking-supply records. The smallest categories are too sparse for representative depth claims.

Depth and record history

Different uses show materially different depth patterns

Parker 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 16,012 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. Test-well records also have a long upper tail even though their middle half is shallow, so they should not be read as one uniform group.

Parker County groundwater context

Trinity and Cross Timbers context depends on the property

Parker County lies predominantly within Trinity major-aquifer context. The Cross Timbers minor aquifer also intersects a material part of the county. That does not mean every Parker County tract belongs to the same aquifer setting, and a countywide page cannot assign an aquifer to one address.

Nearly all of the analyzed county area falls within Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District context. A tiny boundary sliver intersects Northern Trinity Groundwater Conservation District, but it is not material countywide coverage. Current requirements and the exact district should still be checked using the property coordinates.

Why the address matters: nearby well records, aquifer context, and groundwater-district boundaries become more useful when they are organized around the actual tract rather than the county as a whole.
What shapes a drilling estimate

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.

01

Property access

Roads, gates, slopes, overhead lines, neighborhood constraints, and room for the drilling rig.

02

Water demand

Home use, livestock, irrigation, storage, and peak daily needs.

03

Pump and power

Pump size, electrical service, controls, pressure tank, and trenching.

04

Complete installation

Casing, testing, treatment, storage, plumbing, cleanup, and startup.

Property-specific well research

Pre-Drill Intelligence Report

$199 one-time report

The county information on this page shows broad Parker County patterns. The paid report narrows the research to one property before you compare drilling quotes or choose the next step for your land.

  • Nearby recorded wells and reported depths
  • Property-specific aquifer context, including Trinity or Cross Timbers where applicable
  • Groundwater-district information for the tract
  • Questions to ask before drilling begins

Understand the ground before you drill. See nearby recorded well depths, aquifer context, and groundwater district information organized around your Parker County property so you can ask better questions before drilling begins.

Parker County well questions

Plain answers before you plan the work

How deep are domestic wells in Parker County?

The 14,042 domestic records with a valid reported depth have a median of 240 feet. The middle half runs from 200 to 300 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 170 to 380 feet. Those are county record patterns, not a prediction for one address.

How do Parker County stock and irrigation depths compare?

Stock wells have a median depth of 220 feet and a middle half of 180 to 320 feet. Irrigation wells have a median of 222 feet and a middle half of 190 to 300 feet, with a broader 10th–90th percentile range of 144 to 452 feet. The intended use and exact tract still matter.

Are all 16,012 records producing water wells?

No. The total includes 610 monitoring wells, 213 environmental soil borings, 43 test wells, and 402 specialized or other records. Those categories are separated from domestic, stock, and irrigation records so shallow environmental work is not mistaken for household-well depth.

Which aquifer applies to a Parker County property?

Parker County lies predominantly within Trinity major-aquifer context, while the Cross Timbers minor aquifer also intersects a material part of the county. Property coordinates and nearby records are needed before assigning aquifer context to one tract.

Which groundwater district rules apply?

Nearly all of the analyzed county area falls within Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District context. A tiny Northern Trinity boundary sliver exists, 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.
