How deep people drill in Hodgeman 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.
| Measurement | Median | 90th percentile | Kansas median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Depth | 95 ft | 356 ft | 60 ft — deeper here (1,414 records, 100 %) |
| Static water level | 47 ft | 153 ft | 24 ft — higher here (1,331 records, 94 %) |
| Estimated yield | 50 gpm | 800 gpm | 25 gpm — higher here (775 records, 55 %) |

Wells tied to a water right
325 records in Hodgeman County carry a DWR appropriation number — 22.9%, 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 Hodgeman County
The busiest contractor on these records is Rosencrantz-bemis Enterprises, INC, named on 260 of them (18.3%), ahead of Joe's Well Service, INC (141) and Dean Waterhouse Drilling (134). The oldest record here was completed in 1975 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 645 feet — a domestic, livestock well drilled by Nash Water Well Service, LLC in 2013.
Plugging records — in Hodgeman County
170 of the 1,417 records in Hodgeman County carry a plugging report (12.0%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 1,247 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 619 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

An unplugged well on land in Hodgeman County?
1,247 of the 1,417 records in Hodgeman 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.
