How Much Does a Well Really Cost? When Does It Pay For Itself?

For irrigation users, municipal water can become extremely expensive.

Our Commercial Planning Guide illustrates how quickly water costs add up. A typical 10 GPM sprinkler system running two hours per day for 90 days can use over 100,000 gallons per season.

At 1.4 cents per gallon, that can exceed $1,500 per year.

With a Well?

Groundwater is free.

No municipal water charge.
No sewer charge for irrigation use.

Calculating Savings

The Commercial Planning Guide provides a simple formula for estimating savings based on:

  • Cost per gallon
  • Flow rate
  • Hours per day
  • Number of watering days Commercial Planning Guide

For larger commercial properties, athletic fields, and condominium complexes, savings can be substantial.

But What About Installation Cost?

Total cost depends on:

  • Well type
  • Pump system design
  • Electrical work
  • Filtration
  • Site prep
  • Permitting

Budgets can vary widely based on geology and project scope.

Long-Term Perspective

Unlike water bills, well payments build equity. A properly designed well increases property value and can provide water for decades.
