Public Water Supply wells in Sedgwick County
162 of the 74,710 WWC-5 records in Sedgwick County — 0.2% — are recorded for public water supply.
How this group compares

a use the record files under this heading.
| Measurement | Median | 90th percentile | Kansas median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Depth | 62 ft | 160 ft | 60 ft — deeper here (162 records, 100 %) |

| Estimated yield | 608 gpm | 1600 gpm | 25 gpm — higher here (48 records, 30 %) |
What stands out among these
The busiest contractor on these records is Layne-christensen CO, named on 47 of them (29.0%), ahead of Clarke Well and Equipment, INC (36) and Harp Well & Pump Service, INC (21). The oldest record here was completed in 1974 and the most recent in 2021, and the deepest well on file reaches 231 feet — a public water supply well drilled by Clarke Well and Equipment, INC in 2001.
Plugging records — for public water supply in Sedgwick County
55 of the 162 records for public water supply in Sedgwick County carry a plugging report (34.0%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 107 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 60 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

An unplugged well on land in Sedgwick County?
107 of the 162 records in Sedgwick 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.
