How deep people drill in Crawford 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.
| Measurement | Median | 90th percentile | Kansas median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Depth | 16 ft | 250 ft | 60 ft — shallower here (645 records, 100 %) |
| Static water level | 6.7 ft | 54 ft | 24 ft — lower here (440 records, 68 %) |
| Estimated yield | 40 gpm | 600 gpm | 25 gpm — higher here (33 records, 5 %) |

Wells tied to a water right
16 records in Crawford County carry a DWR appropriation number — 2.5%, 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 Crawford County
The busiest contractor on these records is Associated Environmental, INC, named on 91 of them (14.1%), ahead of Larsen and Associates, INC (73) and Test (27). The oldest record here was completed in 1976 and the most recent in 2025.
Plugging records — in Crawford County
262 of the 645 records in Crawford County carry a plugging report (40.6%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 383 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 56 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

An unplugged well on land in Crawford County?
383 of the 645 records in Crawford 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.
