Water wells around McAllen

Inside McAllen most homes use city water, so well requests usually come from the rural edges — north toward Edinburg and west toward Mission — and from large lots that want a separate well for irrigation.

Local tip

Inside city limits, ask the city and your utility whether a private well is allowed on your lot and whether it must stay disconnected from the city water line.

How much does a water well cost near McAllen?

The Texas Well Cost Index (Texas Water Well Reports) models a complete residential system in Hidalgo County at $18,300–$30,500 (drilling and casing only: $7,625–$19,825), based on a median depth of 240 ft across 1,275 driller records (middle half: 100–380 ft). The source calls these planning estimates, not quotes. Your actual depth, casing, pump size and water quality decide the real price.

Frequently asked questions

Do you drill wells in McAllen?

We don't drill. We are an independent referral service: we send your request to independent, licensed well companies that work around McAllen, and they contact you with availability and price.

Can I have a private well in McAllen?

It depends on your location. Inside city limits, check with the city and your water utility; outside, check with the county and any groundwater conservation district. Your driller should know the local rules.

Is the well water safe to drink?

Not automatically. Lower Valley groundwater is often salty, and shallow wells can carry bacteria or nitrates. Test the water before drinking it and plan for treatment if needed.
