From Bay City and Van Vleck down to Sargent and Matagorda Beach. Coastal county water has its own rules. Well siting and depth matter more here, and we know the difference.
Matagorda County runs from farm country around Bay City, Markham, and Van Vleck all the way down to the coast at Sargent, Matagorda, and Palacios, and the water story changes as you head south. Inland wells hit dependable freshwater. Closer to the bays, well siting and depth become the difference between good water and a brackish problem.
We drill wells, service pumps, install and maintain septic systems, and design water treatment across the whole county, including the coastal stretch where getting it right the first time matters most.
Beach houses and bay properties bring their own septic reality too: sandy soil and a high water table usually mean an aerobic system, and we install and service those on maintenance contracts.
Inland Matagorda County draws from the Gulf Coast Aquifer, and wells here run deeper than in the neighboring counties. State driller reports put most domestic wells between 170 and 550 feet, with the middle around 400. As you move toward the coast, freshwater zones get thinner and brackish risk increases, which is why coastal well work starts with careful siting and depth planning rather than just setting up where it's convenient.
Every well in the county gets registered with the Coastal Plains Groundwater Conservation District before drilling, and typical household and livestock wells are exempt from production permitting. Larger non-exempt wells also carry a 200-foot minimum screening depth under district rules. We handle all of it as part of the job.
For coastal properties where the well water carries salts or minerals treatment can't economically fix at whole-home scale, we'll tell you that straight and design around it. Point-of-use treatment for drinking water, or a different siting plan entirely. Nobody should pay for a well that produces water they can't use.
