Free pilot · Connecticut only
Looking at a 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. Older housing stock meets new construction on well water — the records near your specific lot matter more than the town average.
What the snapshot covers for Windsor
What we can say statewide (not 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 Windsor. Request a snapshot for your exact address and we pull the records around it.
