What 3,120 positive-depth domestic records show
The Travis County record set contains 3,122 domestic-use reports. 3,120 include a positive borehole depth. The middle half runs from 260 to 610 feet, with a 425-foot median; P10 is 205 feet and P90 is 800 feet. The median domestic completion year is 2012, and the latest submitted date in the county summary is February 23, 2026.
Population estimates rose from 1,296,610 in 2020 to 1,363,767 in 2024—an increase of 67,157 residents, or 5.18%. Growth and property change can tighten access, alter utilities and drainage, and make coordination with power, septic, structures, trenching, storage, and future site work more important.
County records help frame questions; the drilling quote is built from the property location, access, demand, and complete-system scope.
Travis County’s well file includes several different work categories
Domestic records belong in the household planning lane. Irrigation, monitoring, environmental, public-supply, geothermal, and test-well records serve different purposes and should not become household expectations.
Domestic records
3,120 positive depths; 425-foot median and a 260–610-foot middle band.
Irrigation records
Median 530 feet; a separate demand and equipment profile.
Monitoring records
Median 30 feet; compare domestic records for household supply.
Environmental records
Median 10 feet; use domestic records for household conversations.
Public-supply records
Median 295 feet; a separate large-system profile.
Geothermal records
Median 300 feet; a separate closed-loop purpose.
Test-well records
Median 60 feet; not a household production profile.
Start with the domestic distribution
Blending household records with irrigation, monitoring, environmental, public-supply, geothermal, and test-well work creates a misleading average.
The complete Travis County job is more than drilling footage
Hill Country and urban-edge acreage needs deliberate access and staging: all-weather road base, gate width, turning geometry, overhead clearance, limestone work-pad conditions, utilities, power, septic, drainage, neighbors, and future construction all belong in the plan.
Access and staging
All-weather road condition, gate width, turning room, overhead lines, and a firm level pad for the drill truck and support vehicle.
Demand and storage
Household use, livestock, irrigation, fire reserve, storage, treatment, and peak daily needs.
Pump, power, and pressure
Pump selection, anticipated lift and drawdown, electrical service, controls, pressure equipment, line runs, and trenching.
Finished system
Mobilization, drilling, casing, completion materials, testing, pump and controls, storage or treatment, startup, and cleanup.
Build the estimate around what the Travis County property actually needs.
Send the exact location, intended water use, access constraints, power and utility context, and known parcel plans.
Separate drilling footage from the finished system
A complete Travis County budget may include mobilization, stable-pad setup, drilling, casing, completion materials, pump and controls, pressure equipment, trenching, electrical work, storage, testing, treatment, startup, and cleanup. The Texas water well drilling cost guide explains the major categories behind a headline estimate.
The GWDB reference set contains 1,524 Travis County records. Aquifer classifications include 706 Trinity, 463 Edwards (Balcones Fault Zone), 274 other, 61 unassigned, and 19 Edwards/Trinity records. Share the address or coordinates so nearby-record comparisons can focus on the property.
The same reference set classifies 766 records as outside a groundwater district, 418 in Southwestern Travis County GCD, and 340 in Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer CD. Confirm the property’s current requirements early so district, permitting, and scheduling questions are handled before mobilization.
