What can we help you find?
Find out what to send us for a new-well estimate, how to describe a question about an existing well, or where to research Arizona well records and private-well water information.
Questions & answers
New-well estimate questions.
What should I include with a new-well estimate request?
Provide either the property address or parcel/APN, identify the project type, and describe the work you are considering. Include the city or area and any details you already know. You do not need every technical detail to send the first request.
Can I use a parcel/APN instead of a street address?
Yes. Provide either the property address or parcel/APN. One of these property identifiers is required with an estimate request.
What types of new wells do you drill?
We drill water wells for residential, agricultural, and commercial properties in Arizona. For an agricultural project, you can learn more on our Agricultural Well Drilling page. Send us your property details and the work you have in mind so we can review your request. An estimate request is not a project acceptance or a guarantee of depth, water yield, price, or scheduling.
What if I have a commercial or smaller-diameter mining request?
We review commercial and smaller-diameter mining requests individually to see whether they fit our current scope and availability. Send us the property address or parcel/APN and a clear description of the work you are considering. We’ll need to review those details before we can confirm whether we can take on your project.
When are site-access questions reviewed?
You do not need to include site-access details in your first estimate request. After you accept a bid and a site visit is appropriate, we can review access with you.
Planning a new well?
Provide either the property address or parcel/APN, then describe the work you are considering.
Questions & answers
Arizona planning and well-record questions.
Is there an Arizona filing step before a new well is drilled?
Arizona Department of Water Resources states that a Notice of Intent to Drill must be filed before a new well is drilled and before an existing well is deepened or modified. Requirements can depend on the property and project. Read ADWR’s Well Drilling in Arizona guidance for public information about your situation.
Can I look up an existing Arizona well record?
Yes. You can research an Arizona well through ADWR’s public Well Record Search. ADWR recommends searching by parcel number because wells are registered to the parcel where they are physically located. This is a resource for your own research, not a record-search or interpretation service offered through this page.
Questions & answers
Existing-well and private-well water questions.
Is a pump-related request different from a new-well estimate?
Yes. If you already have a well, tell us about the property and the pump help you are looking for rather than requesting a new well. Pump equipment, installation, repair, and service depend on our current availability. We cannot diagnose the problem through this FAQ, and submitting a form does not arrange immediate dispatch.
Is this a 24-hour emergency service or dispatch page?
No. We do not offer 24-hour emergency service. Please do not use this page or our estimate form to request emergency dispatch.
Where can I find information about private-well water testing?
We’ve linked to the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension and EPA below. Their guides explain private-well testing, upkeep, and questions to ask a laboratory or local public-health office. We share these links for your information; they are not an offer from us to collect samples, perform laboratory testing, interpret results, or provide treatment.
I noticed a change in the water. Does that tell me what is wrong?
No. A change in appearance, odor, or taste alone does not tell you the cause. EPA identifies these changes as a reason to consider testing. Contact a certified laboratory or your local public-health office for testing instructions and water-health questions. We cannot diagnose your water or tell you it is safe to drink based on a description.
Can I book sample collection, water testing, treatment, or a pre-sale inspection here?
These are not standard services you can book through this page. Our estimate form does not book sample collection, laboratory coordination or testing, results interpretation, treatment work, or a pre-sale inspection. For private-well information and guidance on finding a testing resource, use the independent sources below.

Arizona well information for property owners.
We’ve gathered these public resources to help you look up well records, understand Arizona drilling requirements, and learn about private-well water questions. These independent guides are for your research; they are not a list of services we offer.
Start with the property and the project.
A property reference lets us review a new-well estimate request for a specific location. Send the property address or parcel/APN, identify the type of project you are considering, and include the details you already have.
You do not need every technical detail to send us a request. We can review site access later, after you accept a bid and a site visit is appropriate.
- Property address or parcel/APN — provide one of these.
- Project type — residential, agricultural or commercial.
- City or area — include it if it helps describe the location.
- Project details — describe the work you are considering and any questions you have.

Public records are a starting point
Looking up an existing well record?
If you have a parcel number, ADWR’s Well Record Search is a useful place to research wells tied to that property. A record can help with your research, but it does not replace an estimate or site review, or confirm that we can accept a new project.
Open ADWR well-record searchopens in a new tabWe review your project details against our current scope and availability. Sending a request does not confirm project acceptance, scheduling, pump-service availability, sample collection, laboratory testing, treatment work, or an inspection.
Arizona requirements vary by property and project. Check with the appropriate agency about notices, permits, and water rights. These links provide general information, not legal advice or an agreement for us to handle filings or permits.
For water-health questions, contact a certified laboratory or local public-health office. Our educational resources cannot diagnose your water, confirm that it is safe to drink, or promise a treatment result.
