Looking at a South Windsor property where the listing says “private well required”? Send the address and get a straight answer with a target of two business days: what nearby wells actually hit, illustrative drilling costs and their exclusions, and the dry-hole truth nobody puts in the listing. Subdivisions and farmland side by side. If the listing says private well required, the snapshot is built for that parcel, not the town.
What the snapshot covers for South Windsor
What we can say statewide (not South Windsor-specific): Connecticut’s open well-completion dataset covers online submissions since January 2021. Older records are fragmented across towns, health districts, and unscanned files. Planning cost rates run $25–$65/ft (unvalidated illustrative drilling-only rates, not a CT price survey), and every snapshot carries a +$10,000–$25,000 dry-hole contingency, as an unvalidated planning allowance. Contracts may bill unsuccessful attempts; confirm terms. Pump, tank, electrical, trenching and permits are separate.
Sources: CT DCP open well data; Illustrative planning assumptions; local quotes required.Water quality: Connecticut requires arsenic and uranium testing for newly constructed private and semipublic wells (CT DPH, effective October 1, 2022). The snapshot flags what your area’s geology suggests testing for — a lab test on your own well still has the final word.
Siting limits: Setback distances have not been established for this property. Ask the local health district to confirm applicable rules, required withdrawal rate and construction conditions; neighboring yield tests are not the design rate.
We don’t publish town-wide averages — depth and yield vary lot by lot even within South Windsor. Request a snapshot for your exact address and we pull the records around it.
