Domestic wells in Greeley County

181 of the 455 WWC-5 records in Greeley County — 39.8% — are recorded for domestic.

How this group compares

Greeley County holds 0.2% of the 77,399 domestic records in Kansas, while holding 0.1% of the register overall — so this use is over-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 Destal Tyler Water Well Service, named on 57 of them (31.5%), ahead of Weishaar Drilling & Supply, INC (28) and George Kemp's Well Service (25). The oldest record here was completed in 1975 and the most recent in 2025, and the deepest well on file reaches 304 feet — a domestic well drilled by Destal Tyler Water Well Service in 1993.

Plugging records — for domestic in Greeley County

42 of the 181 records for domestic in Greeley County carry a plugging report (23.2%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 139 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 85 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 Greeley County?

139 of the 181 records in Greeley 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.
