Will a new well at my property in Lee County be this deep?

Not necessarily. These are depths other wells were permitted or built to. Depth depends on the aquifer, water quality, use and local rules. A Florida-licensed water well contractor and your water management district can tell you what a new well at your property needs.

Where does this data come from?

From public well-construction records published by the St. Johns River Water Management District, Northwest Florida Water Management District and Southwest Florida Water Management District. Each well in the lookup links to its original agency record.

About these numbers

Sources: St. Johns River Water Management District (19 records); Northwest Florida Water Management District (1 records); Southwest Florida Water Management District (1 records). Records were fetched October 25, 2026.
What’s counted: wells with a reported depth whose use is household, irrigation, public supply or agricultural. Monitoring wells, injection wells, plugged wells and permits that were never drilled are left out. Methodology.
Dates: SWFWMD permits issued 2003–2003. The SJRWMD and NWFWMD layers carry no date.
Not a guarantee: a record shows how deep one well was permitted or built. It doesn’t predict yield, water quality or what your well will need.
