a household and stock water.
| Measurement | Median | 90th percentile | Kansas median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Depth | 120 ft | 198 ft | 60 ft — deeper here (162 records, 99 %) |

What stands out among these
The busiest contractor on these records is Wilcox Well Drilling, LLC, named on 27 of them (16.6%), ahead of Kelley Drilling CO (17) and Burton Well Drilling, INC (15). The oldest record here was completed in 1975 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 255 feet — a domestic, livestock well drilled by Wilcox Well Drilling LLC in 2025.
Plugging records — for domestic, livestock in Decatur County
3 of the 163 records for domestic, livestock in Decatur County carry a plugging report (1.8%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 160 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 29 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

An unplugged well on land in Decatur County?
160 of the 163 records in Decatur 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.
