We believe informed landowners make better long-term decisions about their water. Here are a few fundamentals about wells, groundwater, and maintenance.
How Deep Will My Well Be?
Well depth depends on local geology, water-bearing formations, and your specific location. In many parts of Oklahoma, domestic wells may range from relatively shallow to several hundred feet deep. During the planning phase, we review available information and discuss realistic expectations for your area.
What Affects Well Performance?
- Local geology and aquifer conditions
- Well depth and construction
- Pump sizing and equipment
- Seasonal changes and long-term water levels
Basic Well Care & Maintenance
- Keep the wellhead area clean and accessible
- Avoid storing chemicals, fuel, or waste near the well
- Have components checked if you notice changes in pressure or water quality
- Follow up with qualified professionals for pump or electrical service
Why OWRB Compliance Matters
Drilling and constructing wells in Oklahoma involves specific standards designed to protect both your water and your neighbors’ water. Working with an operation that understands and follows OWRB requirements helps reduce risk and supports long-term, reliable use of your well.
