What nearby well records tell you
Somervell County’s 537 domestic records all include a valid reported depth. Their median is 500 feet, the middle half runs from 380 to 580 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range extends from 300 to 668.2 feet. That spread is more useful than one countywide “typical depth” because it shows how much recorded projects differ.
The county also contains 17 stock records and 12 irrigation records. Those small groups are useful as individual records around a property, but they are below the 20-record threshold used for representative category statistics on this page. They should not be turned into broad stock- or irrigation-depth promises.
Middle half of reported domestic depths
Somervell 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, and specialized uses. Separating those groups keeps shallow monitoring work from being mistaken for household-well depths.
Domestic wells
All 537 domestic records have a valid reported depth. The median is 500 feet, the middle half runs from 380 to 580 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 300 to 668.2 feet.
Stock wells
All 17 stock records have a reported depth. Because the group has fewer than 20 records, use nearby individual records for tract research rather than presenting its median or quartiles as a representative county pattern.
Irrigation wells
All 12 irrigation records have a reported depth. Because the group has fewer than 20 records, use nearby individual records for tract research rather than presenting its median or quartiles as a representative county pattern.
Test, monitoring, and environmental records
This group includes 79 monitoring wells and 14 environmental soil borings; the canonical dataset contains no Somervell records labeled Test Well. These are not ordinary household or producing wells. The supported monitoring group has a 45-foot median and a 19.1–65-foot middle half, which is why it must remain separate from domestic-well expectations.
Specialized and other reported uses
This group includes 14 rig-supply wells, nine public-supply wells, six industrial wells, three closed-loop geothermal records, one de-watering record, and one injection record. Every category is below the 20-record threshold, so representative depth or completion-year claims are not presented for them.
Supported record groups serve different purposes
Stock, irrigation, environmental, and specialized categories are omitted from the comparison because each has fewer than 20 valid depth and completion-year records. The year shown is the median completion year within that record group. It does not describe the condition or remaining life of a particular well.

Trinity Aquifer and Prairielands district context
The official stored aquifer layer places the analyzed Somervell County geometry in Trinity Aquifer context. The county page still cannot identify the producing formation or expected depth at one address; that requires property coordinates and nearby records.
The stored district layer maps Prairielands Groundwater Conservation District across about 190.79 of 191.69 analyzed square miles—roughly 99.53% of the county. Tiny Upper Trinity and Middle Trinity overlaps are sub-square-mile boundary slivers, not a basis for assigning either district to a tract. Confirm current jurisdiction and requirements from the property coordinates and current official sources before drilling.
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.

Share the Somervell County address, intended use, and timing. We will follow up to understand the project and explain the next step.
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.

Pre-Drill Intelligence Report
The county information on this page shows broad Somervell 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 Trinity Aquifer context
- 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 Somervell County property so you can ask better questions before drilling begins.

Plain answers before you plan the work
How deep are domestic wells in Somervell County?
All 537 domestic records have a valid reported depth. Their median is 500 feet, the middle half runs from 380 to 580 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 300 to 668.2 feet. Those are county record patterns, not a prediction for one address.
What do Somervell County stock and irrigation records show?
The file includes 17 stock records and 12 irrigation records, all with reported depths. Each group is below the 20-record threshold used for representative category statistics, so individual nearby records are more appropriate than a countywide depth claim.
Are all 693 records producing water wells?
No. The total includes 79 monitoring wells, 14 environmental soil borings, and 34 specialized-use records. Those categories are separated so shallow monitoring work is not mistaken for household-well depth.
Which aquifer applies to a Somervell County property?
The official stored major-aquifer layer places the analyzed county geometry in Trinity Aquifer context. Property coordinates and nearby records are still needed before assigning aquifer context to a tract.
Which groundwater district rules apply?
The stored district layer maps Prairielands Groundwater Conservation District across roughly 99.53% of the analyzed county. Small Upper Trinity and Middle Trinity overlaps are treated as boundary slivers. Confirm current jurisdiction and requirements for the exact coordinates before drilling.
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.
