How much does it cost to drill a water well?
Water well drilling and water system installation is a substantial cost in the life of a homeowner. Depending upon the depth of the water table, the quality of the water found, the types of pumps, tanks, and (possibly) cisterns necessary to make a successful system for your usage, it can cost anywhere from $8,000-$50,000. Be sure to check with your well driller to get a history of well drilling in your area. While it’s never a guarantee, it may be possible to get a ballpark figure of your costs based upon the drilling history of your neighbors.
