Domestic, Livestock wells in Meade County

200 of the 2,318 WWC-5 records in Meade County — 8.6% — are recorded for domestic, livestock.

How this group compares

Meade County holds 1.1% of the 17,552 domestic, livestock records in Kansas, while holding 0.7% of the register overall — so this use is over-represented here.

a household and stock water.

What stands out among these

The busiest contractor on these records is Bartel Well Drilling, INC, named on 74 of them (37.0%), ahead of Cornie Friesen Windmill and Supply CO (30) and Sw Windmill & Ww Srvc (24). The oldest record here was completed in 1975 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 540 feet — a domestic, livestock well drilled by 3t Drilling, INC in 2025.

Plugging records — for domestic, livestock in Meade County

6 of the 200 records for domestic, livestock in Meade County carry a plugging report (3.0%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 194 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 62 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

An unplugged well on land in Meade County?

194 of the 200 records in Meade 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

Domestic, Livestock, Meade 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.
