Domestic, Livestock wells in Phillips County

213 of the 1,775 WWC-5 records in Phillips County — 12.0% — are recorded for domestic, livestock.

How this group compares

Phillips County holds 1.2% of the 17,552 domestic, livestock records in Kansas, while holding 0.6% 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 Watson Well Drilling, named on 37 of them (17.4%), ahead of Gottschalk Water Well Drilling (25) and Gottschalk Well Drilling (23). The oldest record here was completed in 1975 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 194 feet — a domestic, livestock well drilled by Paul Ott Enterprises in 1981.

Plugging records — for domestic, livestock in Phillips County

7 of the 213 records for domestic, livestock in Phillips County carry a plugging report (3.3%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 206 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 32 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

An unplugged well on land in Phillips County?

206 of the 213 records in Phillips 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, Phillips 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.
