How deep people drill in Wilson County
This is what a buyer or a builder actually wants, and the Survey does not publish it as a figure you can look up. The numbers below are medians over the records where a figure was reported — a mean would be carried away by a few deep irrigation wells.
| Measurement | Median | 90th percentile | Kansas median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Depth | 20.4 ft | 75 ft | 60 ft — shallower here (606 records, 100 %) |
| Static water level | 12 ft | 27.81 ft | 24 ft — lower here (338 records, 56 %) |
| Estimated yield | 4 gpm | 20 gpm | 25 gpm — lower here (62 records, 10 %) |

What stands out in Wilson County
The busiest contractor on these records is Thiele Geotech, INC, named on 70 of them (11.5%), ahead of Larsen and Associates, INC (58) and Razek Environmental, LLC (46). The oldest record here was completed in 1975 and the most recent in 2025, and the deepest well on file reaches 310 feet — a domestic well drilled by Jayhawk Drilling in 1990.
Plugging records — in Wilson County
122 of the 609 records in Wilson County carry a plugging report (20.0%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 487 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 113 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

An unplugged well on land in Wilson County?
487 of the 609 records in Wilson 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.
