Irrigation wells in Scott County

404 of the 1,571 WWC-5 records in Scott County — 25.7% — are recorded for irrigation.

How this group compares

Scott County holds 1.7% of the 24,315 irrigation records in Kansas, while holding 0.5% of the register overall — so this use is over-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
MeasurementMedian90th percentileKansas median
Depth168 ft215 ft60 ft — deeper here (404 records, 100 %)
Static water level116 ft157 ft24 ft — higher here (380 records, 94 %)

What stands out among these

The busiest contractor on these records is Weishaar Drilling & Supply, INC, named on 86 of them (21.3%), ahead of Henkle Drilling and Supply (68) and Midwest Well & Pump, INC (42). The oldest record here was completed in 1974 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 309 feet — a irrigation well drilled by High Plains Drilling & Supply in 1977.

Plugging records — for irrigation in Scott County

176 of the 404 records for irrigation in Scott County carry a plugging report (43.6%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 228 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 175 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

An unplugged well on land in Scott County?

228 of the 404 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.

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

Irrigation, Scott 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.
