Why put your sprinklers on a well?

Wichita makes watering with city water expensive

The city prices summer lawn watering on its steepest tiers — and limits when you can water. Your own well sidesteps both.

You're billed at the top tier

Summer watering lands in Wichita's Block 2 & 3 rates — up to $17.93 per 1,000 gallons. A well removes that recurring cost.

No watering-day limits

The city enforces permanent watering-day schedules. A private well isn't subject to them — water for a healthy lawn on your own schedule.

Locked-in against rate hikes

City water & sewer rose ~15% across 2026–2027. Your well water never climbs with their rates.

The honest math

What a well would save your lawn

Built on the City of Wichita's actual 2026 tiered water rates. Savings are water only — Wichita caps sewer at your winter average.

Is your yard a good fit?

Most of Greater Wichita sits over shallow water

Over the Equus Beds aquifer — the water table is shallow, so many lawn-irrigation wells are only ~60–70 feet deep, which keeps the cost down.
You water a lawn or garden with city water now — the bigger your summer watering, the faster a well pays off.
You keep city water indoors — this is an irrigation-only well; your home stays on municipal water for drinking and household use.
Free property check — we confirm your lot's aquifer depth before you commit to anything.

Lawn-well questions

Good to know

How much will a lawn-irrigation well save me?

It depends on how much you water. Summer watering is billed at Wichita's top tiers (up to $17.93 per 1,000 gallons), so heavy waterers and bigger lawns save the most — use the calculator above for your number. Savings are on water; the city bills sewer on your winter average either way.

Do I still get city water in the house?

Yes. This is an irrigation-only well — it feeds your sprinklers. Your home stays on city water for drinking, bathing and everything indoors.

How deep does the well need to be?

Over the Equus Beds the water table is shallow, so many lawn wells are only ~60–70 feet — often a sand-point or small drilled well, which keeps cost down.

Do I need a permit?

Yes — wells in Sedgwick County require permits and licensed contractors. We handle the permitting, and the regulated work is done by our licensed KDHE well contractor.

Can I water whenever I want with a well?

Yes. Wichita's watering-day restrictions apply to municipal water. Your own well lets you water on your own schedule.

How long does the whole conversion take?

Once scheduled, a standard conversion is typically completed in a few business days — we coordinate the driller, electrician and sprinkler tech back-to-back.
