Why It Matters

What Does It Cost to Water Your Lawn with City Water All Summer?

In South Carolina, running an irrigation system off city water during summer months can add $150–$400 to your monthly water bill — or more on a large lot. A dedicated irrigation well eliminates that recurring cost. The well pays for itself. After that, your irrigation water costs essentially nothing. Austin Drilling drills the well and connects it to your existing or new sprinkler system — so you have reliable water volume when your lawn and landscape need it most.

Common Questions

Irrigation Well Drilling FAQ

Do you design the sprinkler system too?

We drill the irrigation well and connect it to your sprinkler system. For sprinkler system design and layout, we'll refer you to a licensed irrigation contractor — they handle that side, we handle the water source.

How much water can an irrigation well produce?

Flow rate depends on your property's geology and well depth. We give you a realistic flow rate estimate at the site assessment so you can match it to your sprinkler system's demand before we drill.

Can my existing drinking water well handle the irrigation load?

Sometimes, sometimes not — it depends on your current well's flow rate and your household demand. We'll assess honestly and tell you whether a separate irrigation well makes sense for your situation.

What's the payback period on an irrigation well?

At $150–$400/month in summer water bills, most SC homeowners see payback within 5–10 years. After that, the water is essentially free for the life of the well.
