How deep people drill in Leavenworth 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 | 75 ft | 160 ft | 60 ft — deeper here (2,841 records, 100 %) |
| Static water level | 25 ft | 76 ft | 24 ft — higher here (2,244 records, 79 %) |
| Estimated yield | 10 gpm | 36 gpm | 25 gpm — lower here (1,440 records, 51 %) |

Wells tied to a water right
43 records in Leavenworth County carry a DWR appropriation number — 1.5%, 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 Leavenworth County
The busiest contractor on these records is Strader Drilling Co., INC, named on 389 of them (13.6%), ahead of Raphael Breuer, INC (353) and Breuer Drilling CO (322). The oldest record here was completed in 1970 and the most recent in 2026.
Plugging records — in Leavenworth County
497 of the 2,850 records in Leavenworth County carry a plugging report (17.4%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 2,353 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 1,008 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

An unplugged well on land in Leavenworth County?
2,353 of the 2,850 records in Leavenworth 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.
