# Water wells in Barber County, Kansas — 1,835 WWC-5 records > 1,835 water well records in Barber County. The median well is 55 feet deep. Who drilled them, how deep, and which ones have no plugging report on file. ## Water wells in Barber County **1,835** WWC-5 records — 0.6% of the Kansas register. The median well here is **55 feet** deep, against 60 feet statewide. ### How deep people drill in Barber County This is what a buyer or a builder actually wants, and the Survey does not publish it as a figure you can look up. The numbers below are medians over the records where a figure was reported — a mean would be carried away by a few deep irrigation wells. *Medians, on the records where the driller reported a figure — never a mean, which a handful of deep irrigation wells would carry away* | Measurement | Median | 90th percentile | Kansas median | |---|---|---|---| | Depth | **55 ft** | 132 ft | 60 ft — shallower here (1,830 records, 100 %) | | Static water level | **17.1 ft** | 67 ft | 24 ft — lower here (1,711 records, 93 %) | | Estimated yield | **15 gpm** | 60 gpm | 25 gpm — lower here (998 records, 54 %) | ### What the water is used for | Water use | Records | Share | |---|---|---| | [Domestic](/county/barber/domestic.md) | 652 | 35.5% | | [Monitoring well/observation/piezometer](/county/barber/monitoring-well-observation-piezometer.md) | 371 | 20.2% | | [Oil Field Water Supply](/county/barber/oil-field-water-supply.md) | 308 | 16.8% | | [Domestic, Livestock](/county/barber/domestic-livestock.md) | 250 | 13.6% | | [Irrigation](/use/irrigation.md) | 67 | 3.7% | | [Public Water Supply](/use/public-water-supply.md) | 41 | 2.2% | | [Domestic, Lawn and Garden](/use/domestic-lawn-and-garden.md) | 30 | 1.6% | | Test Hole, Uncased | 25 | 1.4% | | Environmental Remediation, Recovery | 13 | 0.7% | | Industrial | 12 | 0.7% | | [Test hole/well](/use/test-hole-well.md) | 12 | 0.7% | | [Dewatering](/use/dewatering.md) | 11 | 0.6% | ### Wells tied to a water right **291** records in Barber County carry a DWR appropriation number — 15.9%, against 11.0% statewide. A well permit and a water right are separate instruments in Kansas, and the appropriation number is the thread back to the Division of Water Resources. ### What stands out in Barber County The busiest contractor on these records is **Dean L. Lyman, INC**, named on 485 of them (26.4%), ahead of Kelly's Water Well Service, INC (121) and Crowdis Water Well Service, LLC (100). The oldest record here was completed in **1971** and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches **369 feet** — a domestic, lawn and garden well drilled by Pratt Well Service in 2013. ### Plugging records — in Barber County **260** of the 1,835 records in Barber County carry a plugging report (14.2%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other **1,575** do not. That is **not** a list of abandoned wells, and this site never calls them that. Kansas defines abandonment by *use* — a well unused for two years — and nothing in this register tracks use. What the absence of a plugging report does mean is that the State has never been told the well was sealed. On the **699** records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks.

If a well on your land is no longer used, Kansas requires it to be plugged and the duty falls on the landowner — with cost-share of up to USD 1,000 per well through the Kansas Department of Agriculture. This site reads the register; it does not drill and it does not plug. Tell us where and we pass the request to licensed Kansas well contractors. We recommend no contractor and we are nobody's agent. We have no arrangement with any firm today — we are collecting these requests in order to go and find them. [What we do with this](/privacy.md). ### Records in Barber County *Barber County — « plugging report » reads *yes* where a WWC-5P was filed and a dash where none was, which is NOT a finding that the well is abandoned. A 0 means the driller reported no figure, not a measurement of zero. The legal description is on the record, never on a page.* | WWC-5 | Drilled by | Use | Depth (ft) | Yield (gpm) | Year | Plugging report | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | [1057134605](/search.md) | 4 Brothers LLC | Domestic | 93 | 5 | 2026 | — | | [1057150027](/search.md) | 4 Brothers LLC | Domestic, Livestock | 105 | 25 | 2026 | — | | [1057082697](/search.md) | Crowdis Water Well Service, LLC | Domestic, Livestock | 65 | 10 | 2026 | — | | [1057082883](/search.md) | Crowdis Water Well Service, LLC | Domestic, Livestock | 50 | 10 | 2026 | — | | [1057082891](/search.md) | Crowdis Water Well Service, LLC | Domestic, Livestock | 65 | 10 | 2026 | — | | [1057108240](/search.md) | Crowdis Water Well Service, LLC | Domestic, Livestock | 52 | 30 | 2026 | — | | [1057108287](/search.md) | Crowdis Water Well Service, LLC | Domestic | 110 | 15 | 2026 | — | | [1057147060](/search.md) | Crowdis Water Well Service, LLC | Domestic, Livestock | 110 | 100 | 2026 | — | | [1057147073](/search.md) | Crowdis Water Well Service, LLC | Domestic, Livestock | 130 | 1 | 2026 | — | | [1057149821](/search.md) | Crowdis Water Well Service, LLC | Domestic, Livestock | 50 | 15 | 2026 | — | | [1057208201](/search.md) | Crowdis Water Well Service, LLC | Domestic | 80 | 80 | 2026 | — | | [1057208212](/search.md) | Crowdis Water Well Service, LLC | Domestic, Livestock | 80 | 90 | 2026 | — | | [1057141861](/search.md) | Lehl & Son Water Well Drlg | Domestic, Livestock | 125 | 40 | 2026 | — | | [1057141870](/search.md) | Lehl & Son Water Well Drlg | Domestic, Livestock | 107 | 0 | 2026 | — | | [1057576509](/search.md) | Travis Lehl | Domestic, Livestock | 105 | 8 | 2026 | — | | [1057576518](/search.md) | Travis Lehl | Domestic, Livestock | 80 | 50 | 2026 | — | | [1056334025](/search.md) | 4 Brothers LLC | Domestic | 137 | 5 | 2025 | — | | [1056586340](/search.md) | 4 Brothers LLC | Domestic | 65 | 25 | 2025 | — | | [1056603015](/search.md) | 4 Brothers LLC | Domestic | 160 | 0 | 2025 | — | | [1057011103](/search.md) | 4 Brothers LLC | Domestic | 180 | 2 | 2025 | — | | [1057055284](/search.md) | Crowdis Water Well Service, LLC | Domestic, Livestock | 80 | 100 | 2025 | — | | [1057055294](/search.md) | Crowdis Water Well Service, LLC | Domestic, Livestock | 50 | 100 | 2025 | — | | [1057055324](/search.md) | Crowdis Water Well Service, LLC | Domestic, Livestock | 100 | 100 | 2025 | — | | [1056814467](/search.md) | Crowdis Ww Srvc | Oil Field Water Supply | 50 | 80 | 2025 | — | | [1056910123](/search.md) | Crowdis Ww Srvc | Domestic, Livestock | 50 | 0 | 2025 | — | | [1056910171](/search.md) | Crowdis Ww Srvc | Domestic, Livestock | 55 | 80 | 2025 | — | | [1056644683](/search.md) | Env.
