Goddard is one of the west metro's fastest-expanding communities, with over 2,000 new residential lots planned across multiple subdivisions in the Goddard school districts. Properties out this way tend to run larger — bigger lawns to water, and some homes on acreage beyond city water service that rely on a private well for the house itself. That mix means we do a wider range of work in Goddard: lawn-irrigation wells for suburban yards, and full domestic wells for acreage and new builds off the city main.
What we do in Goddard
Neighborhoods & areas we serve in Goddard
We serve suburban neighborhoods like Arbor Creek near 183rd & Pawnee, along with acreage developments such as Rachel Brooke Estates in the Goddard-Eisenhower school district, plus the custom country estates and rural-edge homes around town that depend on a private well.
Local notes for Goddard
Permits & licensing: In Goddard the well construction permit is issued by Sedgwick County (the county's Environmental Section) — currently a $50 permit that is valid for one year and must be pulled before any building permit where the well is the water supply. Under Kansas law only a Kansas-licensed water well contractor may do the drilling; ours carries the state-required liability insurance, is registered with the county, and files the well log with KDHE. We handle the permit and paperwork for your address.
Water table: Goddard sits over the Equus Beds aquifer — the same shallow groundwater the City of Wichita draws its municipal supply from. Across the Wichita area the water table generally runs about 10 to 50 feet below the surface depending on how close you are to the Arkansas and Little Arkansas rivers (USGS), with a thick saturated zone beneath it. That shallow, dependable water is what makes an irrigation well practical here — we confirm your exact depth on the free property check.
No water-right permit needed for a home: water for your household and your own lawn and garden falls under Kansas's domestic-use exemption, so you don't need a state water-right permit from the Division of Water Resources — just the county construction permit and a licensed driller, both of which we take care of.

Goddard well FAQs
Can you drill a drinking-water well for my Goddard acreage?
Yes — for homes off city service we drill full domestic wells and can advise on water testing and treatment. See
well drilling.
Do I need a permit in Goddard?
Yes — Goddard wells are permitted through Sedgwick County (a $50 permit, valid one year) and must be drilled by a Kansas-licensed contractor. We handle the paperwork.
Do I need a state water-right permit for a domestic well?
No — water for your household and your own lawn, garden and a few livestock falls under Kansas's domestic-use exemption, so no state water-right permit is required. You need the county construction permit and a licensed driller, which we handle.
Is a lawn-irrigation well worth it on a bigger Goddard lot?
Larger Goddard lawns use more water, so the payback on taking that watering off the city meter is usually faster. Run your numbers in the
