Domestic wells in Scott County

439 of the 1,571 WWC-5 records in Scott County — 27.9% — are recorded for domestic.

How this group compares

Scott County holds 0.6% of the 77,399 domestic records in Kansas, while holding 0.5% of the register overall — so this use is over-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 Weishaar Drilling & Supply, INC, named on 151 of them (34.4%), ahead of Midwest Well & Pump, INC (140) and Everett Miller Gearhead & Pump Repair (16). The oldest record here was completed in 1975 and the most recent in 2025, and the deepest well on file reaches 790 feet — a domestic well drilled by Henkle Drilling and Supply in 1996.

Plugging records — for domestic in Scott County

63 of the 439 records for domestic in Scott County carry a plugging report (14.4%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 376 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 249 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 Scott County?

376 of the 439 records in Scott 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.
