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.

The oldest record here was completed in 1972 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 188 feet — a domestic well drilled by H2o Drilling in 2023.

Plugging records — for domestic in Kingman County

126 of the 1,351 records for domestic in Kingman County carry a plugging report (9.3%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 1,225 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 530 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

An unplugged well on land in Kingman County?

1,225 of the 1,351 records in Kingman 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.
