Domestic, Lawn and Garden wells in Ellsworth County
155 of the 2,028 WWC-5 records in Ellsworth County — 7.6% — are recorded for domestic, lawn and garden.
How this group compares
Ellsworth County holds 0.3% of the 54,905 domestic, lawn and garden records in Kansas, while holding 0.6% of the register overall — so this use is under-represented here.
household water plus a yard — the ordinary rural or small-acreage well.
| Measurement | Median | 90th percentile | Kansas median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Depth | 80 ft | 158 ft | 60 ft — deeper here (155 records, 100 %) |
| Static water level | 41 ft | 90 ft | 24 ft — higher here (149 records, 96 %) |
| Estimated yield | 12 gpm | 60 gpm | 25 gpm — lower here (122 records, 79 %) |
What stands out among these
The busiest contractor on these records is Kelly's Water Well Service, INC, named on 85 of them (54.8%), ahead of Rosencrantz-bemis Enterprises, INC (16) and Geocore Services INC (8). The oldest record here was completed in 1977 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 300 feet — a domestic, lawn and garden well drilled by Kelly's Water Well Service, INC in 1996.
Plugging records — for domestic, lawn and garden in Ellsworth County
6 of the 155 records for domestic, lawn and garden in Ellsworth County carry a plugging report (3.9%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 149 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 59 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

An unplugged well on land in Ellsworth County?
149 of the 155 records in Ellsworth 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.
