Depth by well type
Household wells are the headline because that’s what most people planning a well need. Irrigation wells are often much shallower.
| Well type | Wells | Median | Middle half |
|---|---|---|---|
| Household | 14 | 70 ft | 46–250 ft |
| Irrigation | 318 | 50 ft | 38–69 ft |
| Public supply | 2 | — | too few |
| All water-supply (headline figure) | 336 | 50 ft | 38–70 ft |

About these numbers
- Sources: Northwest Florida Water Management District (409 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: the source layer for this area publishes no construction or permit date, so we can’t say how recent these wells are.
- Approximate locations: 29 of 409 records (7%) share their exact map point with at least four other records, so they’re probably placed at a section, subdivision or parcel-group center rather than at the well. That matters for “nearest well” distances, less for area figures like these.
- 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.

- Where does this data come from?
- From public well-construction records published by the Northwest Florida Water Management District. Each well in the lookup links to its original agency record.
