Domestic wells in Saline County

1,266 of the 7,612 WWC-5 records in Saline County — 16.6% — are recorded for domestic.

How this group compares

Saline County holds 1.6% of the 77,399 domestic records in Kansas, while holding 2.4% 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.

What stands out among these

The busiest contractor on these records is Peterson Irrigation, INC, named on 265 of them (20.9%), ahead of Pestinger Pump & Water Well Drlg., INC (237) and O.s. Fent Hydraulic Drilling Company (220). The oldest record here was completed in 1975 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 200 feet — a domestic well drilled by Peterson Irrigation, INC in 1999.

Plugging records — for domestic in Saline County

330 of the 1,266 records for domestic in Saline County carry a plugging report (26.1%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 936 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 612 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

An unplugged well on land in Saline County?

936 of the 1,266 records in Saline 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, Saline 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.
