Over the three decades we have been building wells, we have developed a strong
alliance with many professionals in the building industry. Here are some of the
many builders we work with.
The State of Texas has set minimum distance requirements for new wells. These rules keep wells
away from property lines, septic tanks, septic fields, and sewer lines. The rules help prevent the
contamination of the aquifer. The state requires that a standard well annulus be cemented 10’ from
the surface. With this completion method, the well must be 50’ from property lines, 50’ from septic
tanks, and 100’ from septic fields.
Standard Cemented Well
If the new well is too close, the well can be pressure cemented. This will allow the property line to
be as close as 5’ away and the septic field can be up to 50’ away. The septic tank must maintain the
50’ setback as well.
Pressure Cemented Well
For wells that are installed where the area is serviced by a city sewer system, new wells must be 5’
from property lines and 50’ from all sewer lines.
Well Near Sewer Line
Some groundwater districts have setback requirements that supersede the state requirements. These
setbacks vary from district to district. Check with us about the distance requirements and possible
exceptions for your site.

Trinity, Glenrose & Edwards
formations of Central TX
The layers of limestone and clay that lay below our feet are very fascinating. The
layers slope downward to the Southeast and rise to the Northwest. Generally, most
recharge for these formations occur where the porous layers of the rock outcrop to
the surface. The main production zones are the Edwards, the Glenrose layers and
the Lower Trinity. The Glenrose and the Lower Trinity make up the Trinity Aquifer,
while the Edwards is a separate aquifer. In most cases, the thickness and porosity
of the formations are smaller as they rise toward the surface. This means that they
produce less volume and are more prone to be affected by droughts. Formations that
are deeper are generally thicker and have more substantial porosity. This leads to
higher flows and longer drought tolerances. Conversely, the water quality tends to be
degraded the longer the water stays in the formation. Therefore, the deeper zones have
poorer quality water than those in more shallow layers.
Submersible Water Well System
with “Hide a Well”
Many of our clients are concerned about the final look of the equipment. For those special sites that
require a smaller profile, we have developed the “Hide-a-Well” completion method. This technology
is not new, but it is rarely used in Texas. It was developed for cold climate areas where there are freeze
concerns. But, the technology does work well to provide you with a very small well head.
As you can see in the picture, the well head
can be as small as 13” in height and 5” in
diameter. The cost to install this option is
very similar to the standard completion
methods. Of course, we only use brass
equipment to prevent corrosion and top
it off with an aluminum well cover.
The equipment can be painted or easily
covered to conceal the well.

Solar Pumps
If you don’t have power to
your site, we can still give
you water. Recent advances in
solar technology have made
this a viable option for many
customers. Prices are now very
reasonable for this growing
business. If you need a solar
pumping system, ask us how we
can custom design a system to
fit your needs.

We have a vast number of real estate professionals that we work with. They coordinate with our staff to en-
sure the well on a property is in good working order. We also advise them of any recommendations we may
have to make the system more efficient. This pertains to both existing wells, and to property that will need a
well in the future. Never buy a property without calling and requesting either a well inspection, or a well esti-
mate. We will help you set your expectations on well cost, and water availability. A good realtor will always
advise you to consult with a quality well professional.
