What nearby well records tell you
Tarrant County’s domestic records have a median reported depth of 340 feet. The middle half runs from 240 to 400 feet, while the 10th–90th percentile range extends from 180 to 460 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 357.5 feet and a middle half of 200 to 710 feet. Irrigation records have a median of 160 feet, but their middle half runs from 110 to 420 feet and their broader 10th–90th percentile range extends from 97 to 780 feet. Intended use and the exact tract matter.

Tarrant 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 these, 4,895 have a valid reported depth. The median is 340 feet, the middle half runs from 240 to 400 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 180 to 460 feet.
Irrigation wells
Wells reported for crop, pasture, landscape, or other irrigation use. Of these, 1,518 have a valid reported depth. The median is 160 feet, the middle half runs from 110 to 420 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 97 to 780 feet. The broad spread should not be reduced to one expected irrigation-well depth.
Stock wells
Water records tied to livestock and ranch use. Of these, 96 have a valid reported depth. The median is 357.5 feet, the middle half runs from 200 to 710 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 143 to 830 feet.
Test, monitoring, and environmental records
This group includes 8,927 monitoring wells, 6,058 environmental soil borings, and 376 test wells. These records describe substantial subsurface and environmental work in Tarrant County, but they are not ordinary household or producing wells and should not be used as household-depth expectations.
Specialized and other reported uses
This group includes 578 injection records, 190 closed-loop geothermal records, 140 records marked “other,” 77 rig-supply wells, 74 industrial wells, 63 public-supply wells, 36 extraction records, six unknown-use records, four de-watering records, and one fracking-supply record. The smallest categories are too sparse for representative depth claims.
Different uses show materially different depth patterns
Tarrant 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 23,045 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.
Trinity and Woodbine context depends on the property
Tarrant County lies within Trinity major-aquifer context. The Woodbine minor aquifer also intersects a material part of the county. That does not mean every Tarrant 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 Northern Trinity Groundwater Conservation District context. Small boundary overlaps with other districts exist, so current requirements and the exact district should still be checked using the property coordinates.
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.
Get a drilling estimate built around what you actually need.
Share the Tarrant 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.

Plain answers before you plan the work
How deep are domestic wells in Tarrant County?
The 4,895 domestic records with a valid reported depth have a median of 340 feet. The middle half runs from 240 to 400 feet, and the 10th–90th percentile range is 180 to 460 feet. Those are county record patterns, not a prediction for one address.
Why are Tarrant County stock and irrigation depths so spread out?
The records cover different properties and water demands. Stock wells have a 357.5-foot median and a middle half of 200 to 710 feet. Irrigation wells have a 160-foot median and a middle half of 110 to 420 feet, with a broader 10th–90th percentile range of 97 to 780 feet. One countywide expected depth would be misleading.
Are all 23,045 records producing water wells?
No. The total includes 8,927 monitoring wells, 6,058 environmental soil borings, 376 test wells, and 1,169 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 Tarrant County property?
Tarrant County has Trinity major-aquifer context, and the Woodbine minor aquifer intersects a material part of the county. The 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 Northern Trinity Groundwater Conservation District context. Small district-boundary overlaps exist, 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.
