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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Household (headline figure) | 96 | 145 ft | 115–150 ft |
| Irrigation | 13 | 120 ft | 110–140 ft |

| All water-supply | 110 | 140 ft | 115–150 ft |

About these numbers
- Sources: St. Johns River Water Management District (136 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: 33 of 136 records (24%) 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.
