What to know about well drilling in Texas

Comal County straddles the Trinity and Edwards aquifers in karst limestone, so fractures and caverns make yields hard to predict tract by tract. Drilling in this kind of ground rewards local knowledge. A driller who works Comal County will know the strong and weak pockets.

Texas licenses water-well drillers and pump installers at the state level, while building, septic, and land-use permits are handled county by county. Rural counties often have lighter permitting than metro areas, but septic (OSSF) permits and well-log filings are near universal. Confirm with your county before work starts. Always confirm current requirements with Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation and your county.
