Irrigation Wells
Stop Paying for Irrigation Water.
A dedicated irrigation well pays for itself. Stop running your lawn and landscaping off your domestic water bill — and never worry about irrigation restrictions again.
Why an Irrigation Well
The Smart Investment for Your Property
Eliminate Irrigation Water Bills
Running a full lawn irrigation system off your domestic well adds significant cost to your water bill every month. An irrigation well removes that cost entirely — permanently.
No Restrictions
Municipal water systems impose watering restrictions during droughts. Private irrigation wells are not subject to those restrictions — water when your lawn needs it.
Protect Your Domestic Well
Running a full irrigation system off your home's primary well strains the pump and pressure system. A dedicated irrigation well leaves your domestic system untouched.
Ideal for Larger Properties
Farms, commercial properties, and large residential lots with high irrigation demands benefit most — but even a standard residential lot sees significant savings with a dedicated well.

SC DHEC requires permits for all new wells including irrigation wells. We pull all required permits — no additional charge, no paperwork stress for you.
Drilling & Pump Install
We drill to the right aquifer depth for your site, install appropriate casing, and fit a pump sized for irrigation demand — not domestic demand.

Common Questions
Irrigation Well FAQ
How do I know if an irrigation well will pay off?
For most homes with in-ground irrigation running May through September, the water savings alone typically return the investment within 3–7 years. We can help you estimate your specific savings based on your water bill and irrigation usage.
Does an irrigation well need to be as deep as my domestic well?
Not necessarily. Irrigation water doesn't need to meet drinking water standards, so shallow aquifers that wouldn't be suitable for drinking water can still work well for irrigation. This can reduce drilling cost.
Do I need a permit for an irrigation well in SC?
Yes — all wells in SC require a DHEC permit regardless of use. We handle all permitting as part of our standard service at no additional charge.
Can I use my irrigation well for anything else?
Irrigation wells can also be used for car washing, filling ponds, dust suppression on gravel roads, and other non-potable applications. Discuss your specific needs during the site assessment.
