A residential water well provides your property with a steady supply of fresh water. Depending on placement and the level of the aquifer, each well’s output may differ. Deciding on how much water you really need your system to produce determines the type of water well drilling process you should use and how much the installation will cost.

Here are a few things to consider when determining how much water you need on your property:

• Consider Daily Needs: Remember, when your property does not have access to a municipal water supply, you’ll need to be more aware of your water usage. Before scheduling a drilling or installation appointment, consider how much water you and your family need on a daily basis. Look at past water statements and estimate the total number of gallons you use in a year. This will help determine how deep your well needs to be and allows a residential drilling company to provide you with a more accurate estimate.
• Will It Go to Your Home or Irrigation: If you’re hiring a drilling service to install a well for irrigation purposes, your needs will be different. These wells can often be installed more affordably than residential wells where water quality, distance from the pump, and other factors play a more important role in placement.
• Figure Out an Ideal Depth: The deeper the well, the more expensive the installation will be. This is because deeper wells often require specialized drilling equipment, casings, and even stronger pumps. When thinking about depth, consider how much you’d like to spend on the entire installation and consult with a water well drilling team to finalize costs. They’ll be able to help you determine if your ideal budget is reasonable or if you need to drill deeper for a reliable supply of water.
