The oldest record here was completed in 1975 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 150 feet — a domestic well drilled by Mcpherson Drilling CO in 2026.

Plugging records — for domestic in Sumner County

50 of the 1,109 records for domestic in Sumner County carry a plugging report (4.5%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 1,059 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 613 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

An unplugged well on land in Sumner County?

1,059 of the 1,109 records in Sumner 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.
