Inside Ohio’s public well records
Mapped well records include depth, completion date, test rate, static water level and aquifer context; only records with known coordinates appear on the map layer.
These are retrieved public records, shown so you can see the identifiers, available values and gaps before running your own lookup. They are regional examples, not a statewide sample or a prediction for a property.
| Public record ID | Published locality | Published use / type | Status / location quality | Recorded depth | Reported rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 413107 | MORROW | W | Status not reportedLocation quality not reported | 28 ft | 8 GPM |
| 413106 | MORROW | W | Status not reportedLocation quality not reported | 30 ft | 8 GPM |
| 2001084 | MORROW | DOMESTIC | Status not reportedLocation quality not reported | 78 ft | 10 GPM |
Depths are converted from the lookup’s normalized meters to feet. Reported rate can represent yield, a pump-test rate or pump capacity depending on the source; these values are historical and are not interchangeable. A source zero can be a placeholder or a reported result: verify its meaning in the original file. “Not reported” means no comparable value was retained, not zero and not proof that the original file lacks all information.
How to verify a Ohio record
Match the ODNR well number, completion information and coordinate-source field. Read casing and bedrock depth with the total depth, and verify that the mapped location actually describes the property well.
Open Ohio Water Well Database ↗ and search for the identifiers above. Compare the original filing, location method and well type with seller documents and a physical well identifier.
Review method: up to three distinct public identifiers selected in returned distance order from an existing regional lookup, without selecting for an attractive depth or yield. Re-run the example lookup ↗ · How these reviews are prepared
Ohio Water Well Database
Ohio Department of Natural Resources
Mapped well records include depth, completion date, test rate, static water level and aquifer context; only records with known coordinates appear on the map layer.
What you can find in Ohio well records
Available fields vary by individual filing, but the Ohio integration can surface:
- completion date
- total depth
- test rate
- static water level
- aquifer type
- drill type
- casing length
- bedrock depth
- township
How to search the Ohio well map and read a well log
- Enter the full property address above to locate the property and open nearby mapped records.
- Compare record identifiers, well type, completion date and distance before deciding which wells are relevant.
- Open the public source below to trace an original well log or completion report where the agency publishes one. A mapped summary may omit details from that document.
- Verify the actual property well with the seller, record identifiers and an on-site inspection; nearby records alone cannot identify it.
How to use the record before buying a property
Ohio's public data is useful for comparing depth, water level, aquifer and test-rate context around a property.
Start with the address search, compare the closest records and their distances, then open the public 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.
Ohio coverage limitation
Only records with known coordinates appear in the mapped layer, so a zero-result map search must not be treated as proof that no well record exists.
Public Ohio source
WellLookup is independent of Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The underlying public source is Ohio Water Well Database. WellLookup adds address search, nearby-record comparison and property-focused reporting; it preserves the published source values.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Enter a street address and WellLookup will search nearby mapped records from the supported Ohio 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.
