Wells in Minnesota range in depth from 15 feet to over 1000 feet. The average household well is approximately 100-300 feet deep. Wells that are drilled very near each other often have similar depths. However, the depth of wells in glacial deposits can vary greatly - even if they are located next door to each other. Click here for more information on the installation of a domestic water well.
The State of Minnesota requires that wells be installed away from sources of contamination or interference; therefore, distance regulations have been imposed by the State for this purpose.

The average well requires one day to drill and one day to install the pump and run plumbing and electrical lines from the well to the house. Barott Drilling Services, Inc. offers installations with PVC or steel casing.
