Domestic wells in Miami County

218 of the 698 WWC-5 records in Miami County — 31.2% — are recorded for domestic.

How this group compares

Miami County holds 0.3% of the 77,399 domestic records in Kansas, while holding 0.2% of the register overall — so this use is over-represented here.

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.

What stands out among these

The busiest contractor on these records is Evans Energy Development, INC, named on 53 of them (24.3%), ahead of Jesse Yoakum Well Drilling (34) and F. E. Young Drilling Co., INC (22). The oldest record here was completed in 1974 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 1300 feet — a domestic well drilled by Finch Drilling, INC in 1988.

Plugging records — for domestic in Miami County

101 of the 218 records for domestic in Miami County carry a plugging report (46.3%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 117 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 38 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

Who drilled them

An unplugged well on land in Miami County?

117 of the 218 records in Miami 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.
