The average well costs between $3,000 and $15,000. Yes, that's a big range. It’s like asking, “How much is a car?” You could get a used hatchback or a shiny truck.
Most folks end up around $5,000 to $9,000 for a standard residential well. That includes drilling, casing, a pump, and a basic system.
But wait—there's more. The real cost depends on where you live. If you're in Texas, you might pay $15 per foot. In New England, it could be $50 to $60 per foot.
