Well Drilling in Denver: local context

Denver is dry and sunny with big temperature swings, freeze-thaw cycles, hail and expansive clay soils along the Front Range; many homes have basements.

Most homes inside Denver itself are on municipal water, so well drilling in the Denver–Aurora–Lakewood area is concentrated on the outer edges of the metro and in rural parts of surrounding counties: new household wells, replacement wells, irrigation wells and geothermal loops.

Local factors include deep water tables and close regulation of groundwater use and frost depth for lines and well caps. Most states license or register well drillers; ask for the driller's Colorado credential, an estimate that explains per-foot pricing, casing and pump costs, and who handles the permit and water testing.

Licensing and permit rules differ by state and city. Check with Colorado licensing authorities and the local building or permitting office for what applies to your project.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • What is your per-foot price, and what is included?
  • What casing, pump and pressure tank are quoted?
  • Who handles the permit and water testing?
  • What is your state license or registration number?
  • What happens if the first hole is dry?
