What 1,446 positive-depth household records tell you
Polk County has 1,446 domestic reports, and each includes a positive borehole depth. Those logs have a 205-foot median, while their middle half runs from 160 to 268 feet. The 90th-percentile planning marker is 340 feet, and the full recorded range is 4 to 4,403 feet.
The broad full range includes unusual records and is a reason to avoid treating one county number as a property estimate. Nearby comparable records, intended demand, access, construction choices, source documents, utilities, drainage, and site conditions all belong in the review.

Polk County’s well file serves several purposes
Domestic use accounts for 1,446 of the county’s 2,099 submitted reports. Rig-supply, industrial, monitoring, and environmental soil-boring work account for another 147, 134, 134, and 75 records. Irrigation, public-supply, stock, test-well, closed-loop geothermal, other, and fracking-supply reports make up the rest, so every filing should stay attached to its reported purpose.
Domestic records
All 1,446 domestic filings include a positive depth. Their 205-foot median sits inside a 160-to-268-foot middle band.
Rig-supply records
All 147 rig-supply filings include a positive depth. Their 250-foot median reflects a different operating purpose.
Industrial records
All 134 industrial filings include a positive depth, with a 310-foot median and a different demand pattern.
Monitor records
All 134 monitoring filings include a positive depth, with a 30-foot median and a separate observation purpose.
Environmental soil-boring records
All 75 filings include a positive depth, with a 15-foot median; they are not household-well benchmarks.
The file also contains 50 irrigation records, 44 public-supply records, 36 stock records, 18 test-well records, seven closed-loop geothermal records, five other records, and three fracking-supply records.
Polk County records need to be sorted by purpose
A countywide average that blends household wells with rig-supply, industrial, monitoring, environmental, irrigation, public-supply, stock, test, geothermal, fracking-supply, 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 Polk 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 Polk 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 Polk 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 Polk 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 Polk County household well records show?
The county file includes 1,446 positive domestic borehole-depth logs with a 205-foot median and a 160-to-268-foot middle band. A property-level comparison is still needed before planning a new well.
Why should Polk County records be separated by use?
Domestic filings are the largest group, followed by rig-supply, industrial, monitoring, environmental, and other reported 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 Polk 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 Polk County
Property owners ask about well planning around Livingston, Onalaska, Corrigan, Goodrich, Leggett, Moscow, Seven Oaks, and rural acreage between them. Start with the exact address or coordinates, intended water use, access, utilities, drainage, and nearby domestic records; a community label does not prove shared geology, water quality, or private-well feasibility.
