Domestic, Lawn and Garden wells in Butler County

3,102 of the 8,187 WWC-5 records in Butler County — 37.9% — are recorded for domestic, lawn and garden.

household water plus a yard — the ordinary rural or small-acreage well.

What stands out among these

The busiest contractor on these records is Harp Well & Pump Service, INC, named on 808 of them (26.0%), ahead of G & S Drilling, INC (276) and East Wichita Well & Pump Service LLC (261). The oldest record here was completed in 1975 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 258 feet — a domestic, lawn and garden well drilled by Robert L. Sharp Water Well Services in 2001.

Plugging records — for domestic, lawn and garden in Butler County

61 of the 3,102 records for domestic, lawn and garden in Butler County carry a plugging report (2.0%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 3,041 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 374 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

Who drilled them

An unplugged well on land in Butler County?

3,041 of the 3,102 records in Butler County have no plugging report on file. 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.
