> 854 water well records in Hamilton County. The median well is 150 feet deep. Who drilled them, how deep, and which ones have no plugging report on file.

## Water wells in Hamilton County

**854** WWC-5 records — 0.3% of the Kansas register. The median well here is **150 feet** deep, against 60 feet statewide.

### How deep people drill in Hamilton 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.

*Medians, on the records where the driller reported a figure — never a mean, which a handful of deep irrigation wells would carry away*

| Measurement | Median | 90th percentile | Kansas median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Depth | **150 ft** | 549 ft | 60 ft — deeper here (853 records, 100 %) |
| Static water level | **68 ft** | 303 ft | 24 ft — higher here (756 records, 89 %) |
| Estimated yield | **50 gpm** | 1500 gpm | 25 gpm — higher here (358 records, 42 %) |

### What the water is used for

### Wells tied to a water right

**188** records in Hamilton County carry a DWR
appropriation number — 22.0%, 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 Hamilton County

The busiest contractor on these records is **Henkle Drilling & Supply Co. INC**, named on 82 of them (9.6%), ahead of Joe's Well Service, INC (68) and Hydro Resources Mid Continent, INC (54). The oldest record here was completed in **1973** and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches **1030 feet** — a domestic well drilled by Joe's Well Service, INC in 2008.

### Plugging records — in Hamilton County

**225** of the 854 records in Hamilton County carry a
plugging report (26.3%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other
**629** 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
**237** records here completed before 1995, that is
exactly what a buyer checks. [Why it matters and who
pays](/abandoned.md).

### An unplugged well on land in Hamilton County?

629 of the 854 records in Hamilton 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](/privacy.md).

### Records in Hamilton County

*Hamilton County — « plugging report » reads *yes* where a WWC-5P was filed and a dash where none was, which is NOT a finding that the well is abandoned. A 0 means the driller reported no figure, not a measurement of zero. The legal description is on the record, never on a page.*
