How deep are water wells in Haskell County, Texas?

Half of the home water wells drilled in Haskell County in the last 10 years are between 44 and 72 feet deep. The median is 62 feet, based on 67 driller reports filed with the state. Drillers measured the water standing a median 32 feet below the surface (66 wells). That is shallower than the Texas median of 250 feet.

Updated every day from Texas Water Development Board driller reports. Last update: November 10, 2026, using the state file of November 9, 2026. These are depths of real wells drilled nearby, not a promise about any property. Groundwater can change over short distances and with drought. A licensed water well driller can tell you what to expect on a specific tract.

What a well costs in Haskell County

At the median depth for Haskell County (62 feet), a complete home well (drilling, casing, pump, pressure tank and hookup at the well) would cost roughly $4,000 to $10,000, by TerraFunded's estimate from published Texas prices. Trenching and the line to the house are extra. Get quotes from at least two licensed drillers.

Common questions

How deep do I need to drill a well in Haskell County?

The middle half of home wells drilled there are 44 to 72 feet deep; one in ten goes past 82 feet. The depth a given tract needs depends on where it is and what layers the driller hits.

How much does a water well cost in Haskell County?

At the median depth (62 feet), a complete well would cost roughly $4,000 to $10,000 by TerraFunded's estimate from published Texas driller prices ($25 to $60 per foot plus pump and equipment). The real price comes from a driller's quote.

How much water does a well produce in Haskell County?

Drillers reported a median of 25 gallons per minute (65 wells). Only 12% of those figures come from a pump test; the rest are the driller's estimate, so treat them as a guide.

Are wells in Haskell County getting deeper?

Haskell County does not have enough domestic wells in both 2003 to 2007 and 2021 to 2025 (at least 30 in each) to compare.

How do I see the well report for a property or a neighbor's well?

Every well drilled in Texas since 2001 has a public driller's report. On this page's map, tap a well to open its official report on the state's site, or look it up by location in the TWDB viewer.
