Which water and septic services are available in Colorado County?

Colorado County runs along the Colorado River valley. Rice and row-crop country around Eagle Lake and Garwood, cattle land toward Sheridan and Oakland, and the I-10 towns of Columbus and Weimar. Water works hard here, and a lot of it comes out of the ground.

We drill residential and agricultural wells, service pumps, install and maintain septic systems, and design water treatment across the county. Irrigation wells for farm operations are engineered around flow and seasonal demand. A different conversation than a house well, and one we're built for.

For families building on acreage around Columbus, Weimar, or Cat Spring-adjacent country, we handle well and septic as a single project. Sited together correctly from day one.

What should property owners know about water in Colorado County?

Colorado County draws from the Gulf Coast Aquifer, with the river valley's sand and gravel terraces shaping how wells drill and produce in different parts of the county. State driller reports put most domestic wells between 110 and 265 feet, with the middle around 165. Depth and formation still vary by site, so every quote starts with an evaluation of your specific property.

Wells here fall under the Colorado County Groundwater Conservation District. Every new well gets a one-time, no-fee registration with the district before drilling, and a typical household well pumps well below the thresholds that would trigger a production permit. We file the registration on every job.

Sediment can show up in wells drilled near the river terraces, and hard water is a consistent theme like everywhere in the region. Both are solvable with the right filtration and treatment design, built from a certified lab test of your water.

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

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

Do you drill water wells around Columbus and Weimar?
Yes. Colorado County is part of our core service area. We drill residential and agricultural wells around Columbus, Weimar, Eagle Lake, Garwood, Sheridan, and the surrounding farm and ranch land. Our El Campo shop puts most of the county within about 45 minutes.
Can you drill irrigation wells for rice operations near Eagle Lake?
Yes. The Eagle Lake and Garwood area is historic rice country and agricultural wells are a regular part of our work. Irrigation wells are engineered around flow rate and seasonal demand rather than household sizing, so the project starts with your acreage and water plan. Call and we'll walk the ground with you.
My well pumps sand or sediment. Is that fixable?
Usually, yes. Sediment can come from the screen, the pump setting, or the formation itself. Common in wells near river terraces. We diagnose the actual cause before recommending anything: sometimes it's a screen or pump adjustment, sometimes a sediment filter, occasionally a re-drill. You get the honest answer, not the expensive default.
Do you install septic systems in Colorado County?
Yes. Conventional and aerobic systems, sized from a soil evaluation of your site. Acreage builds around Columbus, Weimar, and the county's ranch land are regular septic territory for us, including the licensed maintenance contracts that aerobic systems require in Texas.
Do I need a permit to drill a well in Colorado County?
A typical household well needs a one-time registration with the Colorado County Groundwater Conservation District before drilling. No fee, and no production permit unless the well pumps beyond household-scale thresholds. We file the registration as part of every Colorado County job.
What does a new well cost in Colorado County?
Depth, casing, and pump system drive the number, and those vary by site in this county, so we quote from a site evaluation rather than a flat rate. See our water well drilling page for how the process works, or call 979-320-4940 for a straight answer on your property.
