Irrigation wells in Haskell County

1,137 of the 2,288 WWC-5 records in Haskell County — 49.7% — are recorded for irrigation.

How this group compares

Haskell County holds 4.7% of the 24,315 irrigation records in Kansas, while holding 0.7% of the register overall — so this use is over-represented here.

watering crops, at the volume an appropriation allows. These are the deep, high-yield wells, and they are the ones most often tied to a DWR water right.

Depth515 ft667 ft60 ft — deeper here (1,137 records, 100 %)

What stands out among these

The busiest contractor on these records is Henkle Drilling & Supply Co. INC, named on 364 of them (32.0%), ahead of Minter-wilson Drlg. Co., INC (210) and Hydro Resources Mid Continent, INC (131). The oldest record here was completed in 1974 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 870 feet — a irrigation well drilled by Downey Drilling, INC in 2016.

Plugging records — for irrigation in Haskell County

233 of the 1,137 records for irrigation in Haskell County carry a plugging report (20.5%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 904 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 424 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

An unplugged well on land in Haskell County?

904 of the 1,137 records in Haskell 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.

The records

Irrigation, Haskell 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.
