Kentucky Groundwater Data Repository
Kentucky Geological Survey / Kentucky Division of Water
KGS publishes mapped water-well records with depth, static water level, use and construction context; Kentucky did not require well registration before 1985, so older coverage can be incomplete.
What you can find in Kentucky well records
Available fields vary by individual filing, but the live Kentucky integration can surface:
- KGS well number
- well depth
- static water level
- construction date
- primary use
- driller
- county
- depth to bedrock
- physiographic region
- water-quality analysis count
How to use the record before buying a property
Kentucky's Groundwater Data Repository gives property researchers useful depth, water-level and construction context while preserving the KGS source and record limitations.
Start with the address search, compare the closest records and their distances, then open the official source before treating a record as the subject property's well. If water quality or current performance matters, use current testing and an on-site well inspection.
Kentucky coverage limitation
Kentucky's repository does not represent every historical well. Water wells did not have to be registered with the state before 1985, and individual records can be incomplete.
Official Kentucky source
WellLookup is independent of Kentucky Geological Survey / Kentucky Division of Water. The underlying public source is Kentucky Groundwater Data Repository. WellLookup adds address search, nearby-record comparison and property-focused reporting; it does not change the official record.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Enter a street address and WellLookup will search nearby mapped records from the supported Kentucky source.
Not necessarily. Location precision varies, so verify identifiers, documents and the physical well before relying on the match.
The $29.99 USD property report organizes the available evidence, nearby comparisons, source limitations and follow-up questions into one PDF.
