# Dewatering water wells in Kansas — 6,212 records > 6,212 Kansas wells are recorded for dewatering. Where they are, how deep they go and who drilled them. ## Dewatering **6,212** of the 314,779 WWC-5 records in Kansas — 2.0%. ### What this use means not a water supply at all — a well drilled to lower the water table, usually for construction or a quarry. *Medians, on the records where the driller reported a figure — never a mean, which a handful of deep irrigation wells would carry away* | Measurement | Median | 90th percentile | Kansas median | |---|---|---|---| | Depth | **40 ft** | 55 ft | 60 ft — shallower here (6,192 records, 100 %) | | Static water level | **11 ft** | 18 ft | 24 ft — lower here (6,013 records, 97 %) | | Estimated yield | **400 gpm** | 1100 gpm | 25 gpm — higher here (750 records, 12 %) | ### Where they are | County | Records | Share | |---|---|---| | [Sedgwick](/county/sedgwick/dewatering.md) | 4,560 | 73.4% | | [Wyandotte](/county/wyandotte/dewatering.md) | 328 | 5.3% | | [Reno](/county/reno/dewatering.md) | 304 | 4.9% | | [Harvey](/county/harvey/dewatering.md) | 204 | 3.3% | | [Barton](/county/barton/dewatering.md) | 156 | 2.5% | | [Riley](/county/riley.md) | 123 | 2.0% | | [Saline](/county/saline.md) | 102 | 1.6% | | [Pottawatomie](/county/pottawatomie.md) | 74 | 1.2% | | [Shawnee](/county/shawnee.md) | 73 | 1.2% | | [Cowley](/county/cowley.md) | 30 | 0.5% | | [Pawnee](/county/pawnee.md) | 20 | 0.3% | | [Ness](/county/ness.md) | 18 | 0.3% | | [Rice](/county/rice.md) | 16 | 0.3% | | [Coffey](/county/coffey.md) | 13 | 0.2% | | [Mcpherson](/county/mcpherson.md) | 13 | 0.2% | | [Edwards](/county/edwards.md) | 12 | 0.2% | | [Douglas](/county/douglas.md) | 12 | 0.2% | | [Barber](/county/barber.md) | 11 | 0.2% | | [Atchison](/county/atchison.md) | 10 | 0.2% | | [Ellis](/county/ellis.md) | 10 | 0.2% | | [Sumner](/county/sumner.md) | 10 | 0.2% | | [Pratt](/county/pratt.md) | 10 | 0.2% | | [Ford](/county/ford.md) | 9 | 0.1% | | [Marion](/county/marion.md) | 9 | 0.1% | | [Russell](/county/russell.md) | 8 | 0.1% | | [Kingman](/county/kingman.md) | 8 | 0.1% | | [Stafford](/county/stafford.md) | 8 | 0.1% | | [Harper](/county/harper.md) | 8 | 0.1% | | [Dickinson](/county/dickinson.md) | 6 | 0.1% | | [Ellsworth](/county/ellsworth.md) | 6 | 0.1% | ### What stands out for dewatering The busiest contractor on these records is **Harp Well & Pump Service, INC**, named on 3,887 of them (62.6%), ahead of Rosencrantz-bemis Enterprises, INC (469) and Peterson Mcnett Drilling, INC (148). The oldest record here was completed in **1976** and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches **421 feet** — a dewatering well drilled by Martin's Well Service in 2016. ### Plugging records — for dewatering **2,743** of the 6,212 records for dewatering carry a plugging report (44.2%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other **3,469** 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 **777** records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks.

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](/privacy.md). ### The records *Dewatering — « 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.* | WWC-5 | Drilled by | Use | Depth (ft) | Yield (gpm) | Year | Plugging report | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | [1057089787](/search.md) |
