Domestic wells in Osborne County
199 of the 1,047 WWC-5 records in Osborne County — 19.0% — are recorded for domestic.
How this group compares
Osborne County holds 0.3% of the 77,399 domestic records in Kansas, while holding 0.3% of the register overall — so this use is under-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.
| Measurement | Median | 90th percentile | Kansas median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Depth | 48 ft | 70 ft | 60 ft — shallower here (196 records, 98 %) |
| Static water level | 26 ft | 41 ft | 24 ft — higher here (178 records, 89 %) |
| Estimated yield | 15 gpm | 50 gpm | 25 gpm — lower here (126 records, 63 %) |
What stands out among these
The busiest contractor on these records is Karst Water Well Drilling & Service, INC, named on 30 of them (15.1%), ahead of Well Owner (25) and Yellow Jacket Drilling (18). The oldest record here was completed in 1975 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 252 feet — a domestic well drilled by Kelly's Water Well Service, INC in 2015.
Plugging records — for domestic in Osborne County
51 of the 199 records for domestic in Osborne County carry a plugging report (25.6%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 148 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 56 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

An unplugged well on land in Osborne County?
148 of the 199 records in Osborne 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.
