How Big Is a Water Well

Water wells typically range from 3 to 18 metres (10–60 ft) deep, but in some areas can go deeper than 900 metres (3,000 ft).

How big is the average water well?

Most household water wells range from 100 to 800 feet deep, but a few are over 1,000 feet deep. Well yields can be increased by fracturing the bedrock immediately around the drill hole and intercepted rock faults.

How big is a well for a house?

For residential purposes, the average well is about 100 to 300 feet and 4 to 6 inches in diameter. For most people, this is plenty. However, the depth will depend on your local area. You may need it deeper, which is going to cost extra money.
