Domestic, Lawn and Garden wells in Reno County

3,758 of the 18,579 WWC-5 records in Reno County — 20.2% — are recorded for domestic, lawn and garden.

household water plus a yard — the ordinary rural or small-acreage well.

What stands out among these

The busiest contractor on these records is Miller Drilling, named on 2,201 of them (58.6%), ahead of Price Water Well Service (454) and Wilson Water Systems (424). The oldest record here was completed in 1975 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 257 feet — a domestic, lawn and garden well drilled by Miller Drilling in 2025.

Plugging records — for domestic, lawn and garden in Reno County

117 of the 3,758 records for domestic, lawn and garden in Reno County carry a plugging report (3.1%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 3,641 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 968 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 Reno County?

3,641 of the 3,758 records in Reno 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.
