Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an irrigation well cost in Utah?
Most irrigation wells in Utah fall between $50,000 and $150,000 fully installed. Depth, casing diameter, and pump size are the main drivers. A 600-foot, 12-inch agricultural well with a 60 HP submersible pump in Iron or Beaver County typically lands in the $75,000 to $110,000 range. We give every customer a written, itemized estimate before any drilling starts.
How deep are irrigation wells in central and southern Utah?
Irrigation well depth depends on the basin. In Cedar Valley and Parowan Valley (Iron County), most agricultural wells are 400 to 800 feet. In Beaver, Milford, and the Escalante Valley, 500 to 1,000+ feet is common. In Millard and Sevier counties, valley-floor irrigation wells often hit good water between 300 and 700 feet. We size every well around the target flow rate, not just the depth.
Do I need water rights to drill an irrigation well in Utah?
Yes. Every irrigation well in Utah requires an approved water right from the Utah Division of Water Rights (waterrights.utah.gov). Many farms already have existing rights that can be moved to a new point of diversion through a change application. We do not file paperwork for you, but we will tell you exactly what we need from the State Engineer to legally drill, including a Start Card, before our rig shows up.
How long does an irrigation well take to drill?
A typical agricultural well takes 7 to 14 days on site. That includes drilling, setting and grouting the casing, well development, and a yield test. Pump installation, electrical hookup, and surface piping usually happen in a separate window. Weather, depth, and ground conditions can extend the timeline.
How many gallons per minute do I need for my farm?
A useful starting rule of thumb is 5 to 8 gallons per minute per irrigated acre during the peak month. A 130-acre pivot, for example, usually needs at least 700 GPM. Crop type, soil, irrigation method, and how many hours per day you can pump all change the math. Our job is to design a well that matches your real peak demand, not just hit a number on paper.
What kind of pump goes on an irrigation well?
For most central and southern Utah farms we install large submersible pumps (40 to 200+ HP) with stainless impellers, three-phase electric service, and a soft-start or variable-frequency drive. Vertical-turbine pumps are still common on shallower, large-diameter ag wells. We size pump, motor, column pipe, and discharge head together so the system actually delivers the GPM and pressure you need at the pivot.
