How much water do wells make near Log Lane Village?

Log Lane Village well depth and local ground conditions

The typical well near Log Lane Village is not especially deep. The median reported total depth is 100 feet, and the middle half of wells falls between 68 and 126 feet. About 48% are under 100 feet, while 51% are between 100 and 300 feet. Only 1% reaches 300 to 600 feet, and no wells in this dataset are recorded at 600 feet or deeper.

The deepest record is 540 feet, so a shallow bid should not be treated as a guarantee. Local drilling crosses alluvium and plains sedimentary material, with many permits naming an unnamed or fractured-bedrock aquifer. A driller should review nearby completions, casing and grout requirements, and the specific lot before setting a target depth.

Reported well yield near Fort Morgan and Morgan Heights

Among the wells that report a pump yield, the median is 15.0 gallons per minute. The middle half ranges from 15.0 to 220.0 gallons per minute, and 94% of reported wells produce more than 15 gallons per minute. The records show 6% producing between 5 and 15 gallons per minute, with none reported below 5 gallons per minute.

That is encouraging for a buyer, but the yield sample is limited: 283 wells report a pump yield out of 1,944 permits. A reported yield is also not the same as guaranteed household supply. Ask for the well construction report, pump test information, storage capacity, and any production limits before relying on the number for a home, livestock, or irrigation plan.

What the Log Lane Village water levels show

Reported static water levels have a median depth of 35 feet below the surface. The middle half lies between 16 and 50 feet. That shallow water level can reduce pumping lift, but it also makes proper casing, grout, and wellhead protection important. A shallow water table is more exposed to local surface conditions than a deep, isolated water source.

The decade series does not show a simple steadily dropping pattern. The median was 30 feet below surface in the 1950s, 22 feet in the 2010s, and 38 feet in the 2020s. These measurements come from different wells and dates, so they are not a substitute for a site-specific water-level check. Only 71 records report a static water level.

Permit history and drillers serving this part of Morgan County

Permit records show a long drilling history around Log Lane Village. The database contains 1,944 permitted wells, with 1,449 recorded as constructed. Permits were issued in every listed decade from the 1950s through the 2020s, and the newest permit year is 2025. The use mix is mainly domestic or household at 53%, followed by irrigation at 18% and stock at 15%.

The most frequently named driller in these records is Canfield Drilling Company, also shown as Canfield, Harold E, with 334 records. Canfield, Leslie George appears on 192, and Authorized (Pe, Pg) appears on 147. These names describe permit history, not a recommendation or proof that a contractor is currently available.

What a new well costs in Log Lane Village

For the local alluvium and plains sedimentary ground, the drilling model uses $35 to $55 per foot. At the median depth of 100 feet, the drilled hole works out to roughly $3,500 to $5,500. That is only the drilling portion, not the complete water system.

A finished well with pump, pressure tank, trenching, and electrical is estimated at $9,500 to $17,500 at the median depth. A lot requiring a deeper hole, difficult access, longer trenching, or unusual casing and grout work can fall outside that range. Get a written bid that separates drilling, casing, pump equipment, electrical, trenching, testing, and permitting so competing proposals can be compared.

Risks to check before building near Trail Side or Weldona

Low yield is not the main warning sign in the reported records, but dry holes and variable production remain possible because local results differ by location and the yield sample is limited. A buyer should inspect the actual well report, pump test, static level, construction details, and water-quality results rather than relying only on the area median.

Environmental review also matters. The mapped area has 23 PFAS sampling or contamination sites within about 10 miles and 3 EPA Superfund or cleanup sites. No historic mine features are mapped there. Test existing water for the risks relevant to the property, and keep septic setbacks, replacement-field space, drainage, access for drilling, and building placement in the site plan. An exempt household-use well may still be subject to permit conditions, and over-appropriated basins may require an augmentation plan.

A practical plan for buying or building on a Log Lane Village lot

Start with the Colorado DWR permit number and construction report for any existing well. Compare that well with nearby records in Log Lane Village, Morgan Heights, Fort Morgan, Blue Sky, Saddle Ridge, and Weldona. The local median depth and yield are useful for budgeting, but they do not establish the capacity or legal use of one particular well.

For vacant land, have a licensed driller review access, likely depth, casing and grout, pump placement, and the proposed septic area before closing. Confirm the permitted use: domestic, stock, irrigation, or monitoring records are not interchangeable. For a home, budget the complete system rather than drilling alone, arrange water testing, and confirm whether the planned household use fits the permit. Colorado’s exempt-well pumping limit is 35 gpm, but permit terms and basin administration still control what can legally be done.

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 Log Lane Village? 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 Log Lane Village 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.
