For construction professionals, understanding the cost to install a well is crucial for accurate project budgeting. Costs can vary significantly based on factors such as geology, depth, and local regulations. Typically, shallow dug wells (25-50 ft) range from $5,500 to $9,000, mid-depth drilled wells (100-200 ft) from $9,000 to $18,000, and deep bedrock wells (200-400 ft+) from $18,000 to $30,000+. These figures include drilling, casing, sanitary seal, pump, pressure tank, trenching, and basic electrical hookup.
Geology: Drilling through bedrock is more expensive than sandy soils.
Depth: Water depth can vary greatly, affecting costs.
Well Diameter & Casing: Larger diameters and steel casings increase material costs.
Pump Selection: Submersible pumps offer better pressure but at a higher cost.
Local Permits & Testing: Costs vary by county for permits and water quality tests.
