The cost to have a well drilled on your property depends on the location and depth to water in your area.
Most wells for water are drilled to 100 to 150 feet deep in some areas.
Then in other areas some wells need to be drilled as deep as 300 to 1,000 feet deep.
The cost per foot to drill a water well depends on the location but on average drilling a water well costs between $15.00 to $30.00 per foot of well depth.
For a 150 foot well it costs around $3,000.00 to $5,000.00 and the more difficult the drilling of the well the higher the costs.
But expect to pay between $3,000.00 to $5,000.00 on the low end and between $10,000.00 to $20,000.00 on the high end for deeper depths of the well drilling.
