Geothermal for Virgin Properties
Virgin is located in Washington County at 3,551 ft elevation with a population of 700+. Virgin is a small but growing Washington County community located along the scenic Highway 9 corridor between Hurricane and Zion National Park. Named for the Virgin River that flows through town, this rural desert community offers large-lot living, stunning red rock scenery, and easy access to world-class outdoor recreation.
Typical well depths in the Virgin area range from 250-550 feet. Virgin sits in the Virgin River valley where alluvial deposits from the river overlie Navajo Sandstone and Kayenta Formation bedrock. The geological transition from the Hurricane Fault zone to the west and the Zion canyon country to the east creates variable drilling conditions.

Water Conditions in Virgin
Virgin benefits from the Virgin River's recharge of alluvial aquifers along the river corridor, creating productive groundwater zones at depths ranging from 200 feet near the river to 600 feet on elevated bench properties. The river-recharged alluvial aquifer typically produces water with lower mineral content than wells drilled purely through sandstone formations. Water quality is generally good with moderate hardness, though properties in certain areas may encounter elevated iron or manganese that responds well to standard filtration.
Virgin wells often produce good, low-to-moderate-mineral water where the river recharges the alluvial aquifer. Some areas show elevated iron or manganese that responds well to standard filtration.
Frequently Asked Questions
How deep are geothermal bore holes?
Geothermal bore holes in Utah typically range from 150 to 300 feet deep, with the number of bore holes depending on your heating/cooling load.
Is geothermal worth it in Utah?
Yes — Utah's stable underground temperatures (around 55°F year-round) make geothermal systems highly efficient, often reducing heating and cooling costs by 40-60%.
