Domestic wells in Coffey County

156 of the 703 WWC-5 records in Coffey County — 22.2% — are recorded for domestic.

How this group compares

Coffey County holds 0.2% of the 77,399 domestic records in Kansas, while holding 0.2% of the register overall — so this use is under-represented here.

water for a household. The commonest use on the register by a wide margin, and the one most likely to sit under a property somebody is buying.

What stands out among these

The busiest contractor on these records is Strader Drilling Co., INC, named on 45 of them (28.8%), ahead of Evans Energy Development, INC (18) and Grogan Ebberts Drilling (9). The oldest record here was completed in 1975 and the most recent in 2025, and the deepest well on file reaches 265 feet — a domestic well drilled by Strader Drilling Co., INC in 1975.

Plugging records — for domestic in Coffey County

46 of the 156 records for domestic in Coffey County carry a plugging report (29.5%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 110 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 52 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 Coffey County?

110 of the 156 records in Coffey 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.
