and what will it cost?

Common questions.
How much does it cost to drill a water well?
Most U.S. residential water wells cost about $5,500–$9,000 installed — roughly $15–$30 per foot. Depth is the biggest factor: typical wells run 100–500 feet deep, so a deeper well in hard rock costs more than a shallow one in soft ground.
How do I know a well driller is licensed?
Most U.S. states and Canadian provinces require water-well drillers to hold a license or registration. You can verify a contractor through your state or provincial well-driller or water-resources board — our state licensing guides link to each one.
