Hasty, Colorado Well Depth, Yield, and Cost Guide

How deep are wells around Hasty?

How much water do wells make near Hasty?

Hasty well depths range well beyond the 160-foot median

The median reported well depth near Hasty is 160 feet. The middle half of wells runs from 36 to 302 feet, so a bid based only on the median can miss the conditions on a particular lot. The 90th-percentile depth is 486 feet, and the deepest recorded well is 600 feet.

Depth records are split across the plains formations: 39% are under 100 feet, 34% fall from 100 to 300 feet, 25% are from 300 to 600 feet, and 2% exceed 600 feet. For a driller's estimate, ask for a base depth and a clear per-foot charge if the hole must continue. Hasty's alluvium and plains sedimentary rock are different from fractured granite, but formation changes can still make depth unpredictable.

Reported Hasty yields are strong, but the sample is small

Only 18 wells in the Hasty records report a pump yield, so the yield statistics deserve caution. Among those reports, the median is 53.0 gallons per minute, with the middle half from 18.8 to 187.5 gallons per minute. The recorded mix shows 78% producing 15 or more gallons per minute, 17% producing 5 to 15, and 6% producing 1 to 5.

No recorded well in this data is under 1 gallon per minute. That is encouraging for a buyer, but it does not promise the same result on an untested parcel. Ask for the neighboring well's completed depth, aquifer, pump test, and recovery information. A domestic well still needs suitable storage, pressure equipment, and water-quality testing even when the reported yield is high.

The Hasty water-level record is too limited for a trend

The local data includes only 1 reported static water level. That record shows water at 145 feet, and the reported median and middle-half values are both 145 feet. With one measurement, there is no meaningful water-level-by-decade series to show a rising or dropping water table.

Do not use the 160-foot median well depth as the expected water depth. A well may continue below the water-bearing zone, and static level can differ from the pumping level. Before buying, request the well construction and permit documents for the specific property and nearby wells. A driller can also explain how the local alluvium or sedimentary aquifer may affect casing, grout, pump setting, and seasonal performance.

Hasty's permit history shows long use, with Hoffman most active

Permit activity near Hasty spans several decades. Records show 3 permits from the 1960s, 14 from the 1970s, 12 from the 1980s, 19 from the 1990s, 43 from the 2000s, 9 from the 2010s, and 3 from the 2020s. The newest permit year in the records is 2023. The use mix is 33% domestic or household, 30% stock, 19% irrigation, and 22% monitoring.

Hoffman, listed as Hoffman, Earl, appears on 30 records. Authorized, listed as Pe, Pg, appears on 19, and S. E. Camp Drilling appears on 7. These names identify activity in the records, not a recommendation or proof of current availability. The aquifer labels include 120 unnamed or fractured-bedrock wells, 13 Dakota wells, and 4 Cheyenne wells, with no Denver Basin aquifer wells recorded.

A median-depth Hasty well models at $11,600 to $20,800 finished

For Hasty's alluvium and plains sedimentary rock, the drilling model uses a typical rate of $35 to $55 per foot. At the 160-foot median depth, the drilled hole models at about $5,600 to $8,800. That is not the full project price.

A finished well including the pump, tank, trenching, and electrical models at about $11,600 to $20,800 at the median depth. A deeper hole, difficult access, different casing or grout requirements, and site-specific electrical or trench work can change the bid. Ask the contractor to separate drilling, casing, grout, pump equipment, pressure tank, trenching, electrical work, testing, and permit-related work. Compare bids on the same scope rather than on the per-foot number alone.

Check water quality, yield, septic, and building limits before closing

Mapped environmental information within about 10 miles includes 3 PFAS sampling or contamination sites, 2 historic mine features, and 1 EPA Superfund or cleanup site. Those mapped locations do not establish that a particular well is contaminated, but they are a reason to order laboratory testing and review the well's location and construction history. Test for the concerns appropriate to the property and intended use.

Low yield and dry holes remain possible even though the recorded yield sample is favorable. Confirm the permit allows the intended household, stock, or irrigation use; exempt household-use wells have a 35-gpm pumping limit, and over-appropriated basins may require an augmentation plan. Before building, confirm the well location works with the septic system, driveway, electrical service, house site, and access for a rig. Local review is important before excavation.

What a new well costs in Hasty, CO

How this is built: the median permitted depth here times the per-foot range for this ground, plus the normal system costs. A lot at the 75th-percentile depth (302 ft) would run roughly $16,570–$28,610. See the full Colorado well cost guide.

Environmental sites mapped within about 10 miles

Counts come from EPA, USGS and state datasets layered on the Colorado Well Finder map. A count is not a verdict on any one well; it tells you what to test for.

Buying land near Hasty? Know what it costs to build before you buy the dirt.

A listing photo can't tell you whether a lot is a dream or a money pit. Two parcels near Hasty can carry the same asking price while one needs an $80,000 driveway and a $45,000 engineered septic the other doesn't. The well numbers on this page are the start of that answer. A Tri-Lakes Site Feasibility Report is the rest of it: a licensed general contractor, excavator and septic installer reads the parcel the way we would if we were about to build on it, and puts the real cost in writing before your money is committed.

Spend a little to know. Or gamble a lot to guess. Realtors sell the view and inspectors look at houses that already exist. We're the people who'd build it, so we catch what quietly turns a "great deal" into a budget disaster: bad access, buried rock, steep grade, soil that won't pass for a normal septic, water that's a fortune to reach. And if the lot is good, you've already got a builder ready to do the work, driveway to drywall.

• Instant Online Report, $99 — type the address and get a buildability read on the spot: parcel, terrain and slope, soil and septic outlook. Cheap enough to run on every lot you're shopping.
• Desktop Report, $500 — a contractor's from-the-desk feasibility read: Regulation 43 and county code, GIS parcel data, terrain, flood and drainage, soil and septic viability, setbacks and buildable envelope, nearby well depths from our 591,000-well database, the likely driveway route, and a preliminary site-development cost breakdown.
• On-Site Report, $2,000 — everything above, then boots and a drone on the actual ground: house pad and septic zone located, access and winter conditions checked, rock and soil observed in person, a 15 to 20 page written opinion you can hand a lender or seller. Credited toward your project if you build with us.

Under contract, comparing parcels, or a realtor with a rural listing whose buyers keep asking "what will it cost to build here?" This is the due-diligence step almost everyone skips, and the one that saves the most.
