# Irrigation wells in Saline County, Kansas — 156 records

> The 156 wells recorded for irrigation in Saline County, median depth 60 feet.

## Irrigation wells in Saline County

**156** of the 7,612 WWC-5 records in Saline County — 2.0% — are recorded for irrigation.

### How this group compares

Saline County holds 0.6% of the
24,315 irrigation records in Kansas, while holding
2.4% of the register overall — so this use is
**under-represented** here.

watering crops, at the volume an appropriation allows. These are the deep, high-yield wells, and they are the ones most often tied to a DWR water right.

*Medians, on the records where the driller reported a figure — never a mean, which a handful of deep irrigation wells would carry away*

| Measurement | Median | 90th percentile | Kansas median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Depth | **60 ft** | 83 ft | 60 ft — the same here (156 records, 100 %) |
| Static water level | **23 ft** | 30 ft | 24 ft — lower here (151 records, 97 %) |
| Estimated yield | **400 gpm** | 900 gpm | 25 gpm — higher here (111 records, 71 %) |

### What stands out among these

The busiest contractor on these records is **Peterson Irrigation, INC**, named on 56 of them (35.9%), ahead of Michael Peterson Irrigation, INC (21) and Paul Pestinger Pump & Water Well Drlg., INC (14). The oldest record here was completed in **1975** and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches **147 feet** — a irrigation well drilled by Paul Pestinger Pump & Water Well Drlg., INC in 2003.

### Plugging records — for irrigation in Saline County

**33** of the 156 records for irrigation in Saline County carry a
plugging report (21.2%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other
**123** 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
**45** records here completed before 1995, that is
exactly what a buyer checks. [Why it matters and who
pays](/abandoned.md).

### An unplugged well on land in Saline County?

123 of the 156 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](/privacy.md).

### The records

*Irrigation, 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.*
