Commercial Well Drilling

Types of commercial requests

• A new well for a commercial building or site under development
• Water for hospitality properties, campgrounds, event venues or lodges
• Process, wash, or dust-control water for a facility or yard
• Additional capacity for a property that already has a well
• Evaluation of an existing commercial well before a purchase or expansion

What tends to make commercial projects different

Commercial projects often involve larger or more consistent water demand, scheduling around business operations, coordination with a general contractor or engineer, and requirements that vary by use and jurisdiction. Some commercial uses are regulated differently from residential wells. The applicable rules are determined by the relevant authorities and by the independent provider — not by this site.

Because of that variability, commercial quotes are prepared project by project after a provider reviews the site and scope. The general influences on a provider's number are described on the well drilling cost page.

What to include in a commercial request

• The project ZIP code and property type
• The nature of the business or intended use of the water
• Whether the property is operating, under construction, or being acquired
• Any project schedule you are coordinating with
• Site access details for equipment, including surfaces and gates
• Whether a general contractor, engineer or consultant is involved

Next steps

When you are ready, see how to request a well drilling quote or submit the project directly. If the work is agricultural rather than commercial, use agricultural well drilling instead.
