How deep are water wells in each Texas city and town?

This index covers 1,204 Texas cities, towns and communities with at least 10 home water wells reported inside their limits or within 2 miles; 862 have 30 wells or more. The median runs from 30 feet in Wichita Falls to 980 feet in McKinney. Each page gives the typical range, the formation the wells draw from (where the state has a layered model), the water level and a cost estimate.

Updated every day from Texas Water Development Board driller reports. Last update: November 11, 2026, using the state file of November 10, 2026.

How these numbers are made

We count new and replacement domestic (home) wells whose coordinates fall inside the place boundary or within 2 miles of it. We use the last 10 years when there are at least 30 wells; otherwise all since 2001. The median is the middle well and the middle half runs from the 25th to the 75th percentile.

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.
