Which formation do wells in Rancho Banquete draw from?

We cannot say yet for Rancho Banquete. This atlas assigns layers with the TWDB layered models processed so far (the Northern Trinity and Woodbine model, the Hill Country Trinity model, the northern Gulf Coast Aquifer model and the High Plains Aquifer System model), and none covers this area with enough wells. The depth, water level and yield on this page do come from the real wells here.

What a well costs in Rancho Banquete

At the median depth for Rancho Banquete (330 feet), a complete home well would cost roughly $11,000 to $26,500: $25 to $60 per foot for drilling, casing and seal, plus $2,500 to $6,500 for the pump, pressure tank, controls and hookup at the well. Across the whole middle half of depths (300 to 380 feet) the range runs from $10,000 to $29,500. This is TerraFunded's estimate from published Texas prices, not a quote, and it leaves out trenching and the line to the house. Get prices from at least two licensed drillers.

Common questions

How deep do you have to drill a well in Rancho Banquete, Texas?

Home water wells in and around Rancho Banquete, Texas are typically 300 to 380 feet deep (median 330 ft, 33 wells reported since 2001). One in ten goes past 416 feet. The depth a given tract needs depends on where it sits and what layers the driller hits.

How much does a water well cost in Rancho Banquete?

At the median depth (330 feet), a complete well would cost roughly $11,000 to $26,500, by TerraFunded's estimate from published Texas driller prices. The real price comes from a licensed driller's quote.

How deep is the water in Rancho Banquete?

When the wells were finished, the water stood a median 55 feet below the surface (31 wells), well above the bottom: the typical well holds about 275 feet of water. The level moves with drought and from one well to the next.

Do I need a permit to drill a well in Rancho Banquete?

In the state's boundary file (current as of November 2019) no groundwater conservation district covers Rancho Banquete. Districts created or enlarged since then are missing from that file, so confirm with the county or TWDB before drilling. Anywhere in Texas the well must be drilled by a licensed driller, who files the report with the state.

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.
