How deep are wells in Preston?
Preston wells can tap deep confined aquifers at 150 to 400 feet. Domestic wells there typically produce 10 to 30 gallons per minute.
Can you drill high-capacity irrigation wells in Franklin County?
Yes. Our large-diameter agricultural wells in Preston regularly produce 100 to 1,000+ gallons per minute, with variable frequency drive pumps and automated controls.
Do you handle permits for a Preston well?
Yes. We manage permitting along with site assessment, drilling, pump installation, and water testing, and we work closely with the Idaho Department of Water Resources field office in Preston.
Should I worry about nitrates in my Preston well water?
Preston’s groundwater is generally excellent, but nitrate levels can sometimes be elevated in agricultural areas. We test your water and can install filtration or purification if needed.
Can you also install the pump and wiring for my new well?
Yes. Along with our Idaho well driller license (#851), we hold plumbing (#74990) and electrical (#076127) contractor licenses, and pump installation is part of our Preston well projects.
