Utah Water Well Alliance drills residential, agricultural, and commercial water wells throughout Southern Utah. We handle permits, use the right equipment for local geology, and back every well with a written driller's report filed with the state.
From a single-family home outside St. George to a large ranch in Beaver County, we have the equipment and expertise to drill your well right the first time.
Single-family homes, rural homesteads, and properties outside municipal water service. We qualify your project for Utah's domestic exemption where possible, simplifying the permit process.
Typical depth: 200–800 ftHigh-yield wells for farms, orchards, and livestock operations. Agricultural wells require full water right applications — we manage the entire Utah DWRi process and know the allocation rules for each Southern Utah basin.
Typical depth: 300–900 ftHigher-demand wells for businesses, developments, resorts, and commercial operations. We handle complex permitting, large-diameter casing, and pump systems engineered for sustained high-volume use.
Depth varies by applicationWhen an existing well fails, goes dry, or yields less than needed, we drill a replacement well or deepen the existing one. We review the original driller's report to design a better solution.
Determined case by caseWell depth and cost in Southern Utah varies dramatically by location and geology. Here's a reference guide for what to expect in each area we serve.
| Area | Primary Formation | Typical Depth | Drilling Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| St. George / Washington Co. | Navajo Sandstone | 400–800 ft | Air-rotary / DTH |
| Hurricane / La Verkin | Mixed fault zone | 350–750 ft | Air-rotary / DTH |
| Cedar City / Iron Co. | Basin fill alluvium | 300–600 ft | Rotary mud / air |
| Beaver County | Valley fill / volcanic | 250–700 ft | Rotary / cable tool |
| Kanab / Kane County | Sandstone / limestone | 500–900 ft | Down-the-hole DTH |
| Escalante / Garfield Co. | Variable sandstone | 400–900+ ft | DTH hard rock |
From your first call to clean water flowing from the tap — here's exactly what happens when you hire Utah Water Well Alliance to drill your well.
We visit your property, review nearby well logs from the state database, assess geology, and identify the best drill site considering setbacks and access.
You receive a clear written estimate with drilling cost per foot, expected depth range, casing specs, and estimated total. No surprises.
We file the well permit application with Utah DWRi and obtain your Start Card (Authorization to Construct). Drilling cannot legally begin without it on-site.
GPS siting, access road coordination, and equipment mobilization. Start Card posted. Safety setup per state requirements.
We drill to the aquifer zone, install steel or PVC casing to prevent contamination, and grout the annular space to Utah specifications.
Air-lifting and swabbing to remove drilling fluids and fines, followed by pump testing to measure yield in gallons per minute at various drawdown levels.
Submersible pump, pressure tank, and controls installed and sized to your property's needs. We recommend VFD systems for long-term efficiency and pump life.
Final water quality field testing, system commissioning, and Driller's Report filed with Utah DWRi within 30 days. You receive a copy of all documentation.
We'll review your property, check local well log data, explain the permit process, and give you a written estimate — at no cost and no obligation.
