Guides
Understand Your Well Before Something Goes Wrong
Out here, city water stops at the city limits and your well becomes your whole water system — casing, pump, tank, and treatment. These guides cover the questions we hear most from homeowners in Granbury, Weatherford, and the rural communities in between: what a new well costs, how deep wells typically run on the Trinity Aquifer, whether you need a permit before drilling, how long a well pump should last, and what that rotten-egg smell in the tap water actually means. Every fact here is drawn from public cost guides, the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District, TDLR licensing rules, and the geology of the Paluxy and Twin Mountains formations that sit under both counties — not guesswork.
If you're buying rural property, planning a new well, or just trying to figure out why your pump keeps cycling, start with the topic below that matches your situation. Each guide links to the service page that handles the fix.
