Water well depth for either residential or commercial purposes will depend on the geology and underground water levels of the area. It’s crucial to find an experienced drilling company that can give you an accurate estimate prior to starting the project because depth will undoubtedly impact the total cost. Let’s take a look at how deep these water wells need to be.
Average Water Well Depth
The majority of wells drilled for household use in the Greater Phoenix area of Arizona can range from 300 to 1000 feet deep. Well water ultimately comes from underground aquifers, which are either fractures encountered in bedrock, or saturated sands and gravels in alluvial formations. The water will be located at different depths depending on the specific area.
Most household wells are drilled and cased with a 5” OD PVC casing or some installations require steel casing.
How Deep Is A Residential Water Well Required To Be?
The depth a drilling company needs to achieve will determine the total cost, with most companies charging by the foot. A company can get a good idea of how deep the well needs to be based on previously drilled wells in the area. All registered well reports can be found on ADWR website.
