Montgomery County wells tap the Gulf Coast Aquifer system, which includes the Chicot, Evangeline, and Jasper aquifers. TWDB describes discontinuous sand, silt, clay, and gravel beds, with water quality varying by depth and locality. Nearby well records, a site-specific completion plan, and Lone Star GCD requirements should guide a new well.
We connect Montgomery County owners and builders with TDLR-licensed drillers and pump installers who work these sand aquifers daily, from ranchette builds off FM 1488 to older wells around Willis and New Caney.
Montgomery County Service Details
What providers in this area actually see: coverage, common jobs, local pricing factors, and rules worth knowing.
Service Area Notes
- Coverage across Magnolia, Montgomery, Willis, Conroe's unincorporated fringe, New Caney, Porter, Splendora, and the Lake Conroe communities.
- Lone Star Groundwater Conservation District registration applies; providers handle it as part of new-well work.
- Routing includes screen-and-gravel-pack sand-well specialists — a different craft than rock drilling.
Common Jobs in Montgomery County
- New wells for the FM 1488 and FM 2854 corridor acreage builds
- Comparing aquifer and completion options for a new well
- Screen failures and sand-pumping remediation on older wells
- Pump and pressure tank replacement in 1990s-era subdivisions
- Testing discolored water before selecting treatment
- Well inspections for the county's very active land market
What Drives Pricing Here
- Depth, casing, and screen requirements depend on the target aquifer and site — compare itemized completion quotes
- Ask the contractor to explain screen and any gravel-pack specifications and their cost
- District regulations and fees factor into new-well economics
- Treatment costs depend on lab results; do not assume iron or tannins without testing
Permits & Local Rules
- TDLR-licensed drillers/pump installers required; all wells must be registered with Lone Star GCD, including wells exempt from permitting. Non-exempt wells also need a permit; confirm applicable spacing, reporting, and pre-drilling authorization requirements with the district.
- Subdivision restrictions in some developments limit or govern private wells — check deed restrictions alongside district rules.
Geology & Water Table Notes
- Gulf Coast Aquifer sediments vary by site; do not assume yield or water quality from the aquifer name alone.
- Confirm the proposed aquifer, demand, and exempt or non-exempt status with Lone Star GCD before drilling.
- If water is discolored or tastes different, obtain a lab test before choosing treatment.

Montgomery County FAQs
Why is my well pumping sand?
Sand can indicate a completion or equipment problem. Have a contractor inspect the well and pump before choosing rehabilitation or replacement; the symptom alone does not identify the cause.
Shallow well or deep Jasper well for a new build?
Do not assume that a deeper Jasper well guarantees better quality or a more secure supply. TWDB notes that Gulf Coast water quality varies by depth and locality. Ask a driller to compare nearby records, expected yield, completion costs, and water testing, and confirm district requirements for each option.
