Why put in a well now

Wichita water keeps getting pricier — and more restricted

City water is rising and your summer lawn is what gets hit hardest. A private irrigation well takes your yard off the meter for good.

1Rates are climbing fast

Wichita water/sewer rates rose 7.11% in 2026 and 7.52% in 2027 — about 15% in two years, with further increases scheduled. Summer lawn watering hits the city's highest tier — up to $17.93 per 1,000 gallons. A well removes that recurring high-tier cost.

2City watering restrictions — a well is exempt

Wichita has moved to permanent watering schedules that limit when you can run your sprinklers. A private irrigation well isn't on city water, so you water on your own schedule — no assigned days, no restriction worries.

3La Niña & drought pressure

A La Niña pattern is in place for the 2025–26 winter, which tends to push the southern Plains warmer and drier — and Wichita has imposed watering limits in past dry years. A well keeps your lawn green no matter what the season throws at us.

4Own your water

Your own well means no city meter on your irrigation, immunity from future rate hikes, and a dependable water source for lawns, gardens and acreage. It's an upgrade that pays you back season after season.

Common questions

Wichita well FAQs

Will a sprinkler well actually lower my water bill?

Yes — your summer lawn watering is billed at Wichita's highest water tiers (up to $17.93 per 1,000 gallons). A well removes that recurring cost. (Savings are on water; sewer is billed on your winter average either way.)

Do I need a permit to drill a well in Wichita?

Yes. Wells in Sedgwick County require permits and licensed contractors — we handle permitting and the regulated work is done by our licensed KDHE well contractor.

How deep is a lawn-irrigation well here?

Over the Equus Beds aquifer the water table is shallow, so many lawn-irrigation wells are only ~60–70 feet — which keeps the cost down.
