Which water and septic services are available in Austin County?

Austin County is where a lot of Houston families land when they trade the cul-de-sac for acreage. The rolling country around Bellville, Cat Spring, New Ulm, and Industry has been discovered, and new homesteads are going in on land that's never had utilities. That's exactly the work we're built for.

A raw-land build needs a well and a septic system before it needs anything else, and doing both with one contractor matters: wells and septic have required separation distances, and siting them together from day one avoids the expensive version of learning that later.

We also service the county's existing wells and pumps, maintain aerobic septic systems on contract, and treat the hard water and iron that come standard with groundwater in this part of Texas.

What should property owners know about water in Austin County?

Austin County's rolling terrain sits at the upper edge of the Gulf Coast Aquifer system. State driller reports put most domestic wells between 135 and 320 feet, with the middle around 200, and the country around Bellville drills differently than the flatter land toward Sealy and Wallis. We evaluate each property individually and quote from that, not from a county average.

Wells here fall under the Bluebonnet Groundwater Conservation District, which covers Austin, Grimes, Walker, and Waller counties. Every well gets registered with the district, and a household well serving a single home is exempt from the operating permit larger producers need. We handle the registration on every job.

Iron and hardness are the two most common water complaints here. Both treatable. The treatment system gets designed from a certified lab test of your actual water so you're never paying for equipment your water doesn't need.

What do Austin County property owners ask about wells and septic?

If yours isn't here, call or text 979-320-4940.

I bought acreage near Bellville. What do I need before building?
Water and septic, in that order. A new homestead on raw land needs a drilled well and a permitted septic system before construction gets serious, and the two have required separation distances that make siting them together from day one important. We handle both as a single project. Evaluation, permitting, drilling, and installation.
How deep are wells in Austin County?
State driller reports put most domestic wells in Austin County between 135 and 320 feet, with the middle around 200. The rolling country around Bellville and Cat Spring drills differently than the flatter land toward Sealy and Wallis, so we give you a depth expectation for your specific property after a site evaluation.
Do I need a permit for a well in Austin County?
Every new well in Austin County gets registered with the Bluebonnet Groundwater Conservation District, but a household well serving a single home is exempt from the district's operating permit. We handle the registration paperwork as part of the job, so it never slows your build down.
Do you serve Cat Spring and New Ulm?
Yes. Bellville, Sealy, Cat Spring, New Ulm, Industry, Wallis, San Felipe, and the acreage between them are all inside our service area. Our shop is in El Campo, about an hour from most of the county, and travel is already built into every quote.
What kind of septic system will my Austin County property need?
That depends on your soil, which is why Texas requires a soil evaluation before permitting. Sandy, well-drained sites can often run a conventional system; clay soils and smaller sites usually need an aerobic system with a licensed maintenance contract. We do the evaluation, tell you what your land supports, and quote both honestly.
Can you fix the iron staining in my well water?
Yes. Iron is one of the two most common water complaints in Austin County, along with hardness. The fix is an oxidizing iron filter sized to your actual iron concentration, which a certified lab test gives us. If you also have hardness, the filter goes upstream of the softener to protect it. Test first, then treat.
