Klein, TX

Usually not, for a standard residential well. Klein is inside the Harris-Galveston Subsidence District, and HGSD exempts wells with a casing diameter under five inches that serve only a single-family dwelling. Irrigation, commercial, and larger-diameter wells do require a permit. B-E Waterwell handles the permitting on any job that needs it.

It depends on your district and your deed restrictions. Much of Klein sits inside Kleinwood MUD, Cypress Klein Utility District, or Harris County MUD 157, and those districts supply water to the home. Properties outside district boundaries — typically larger acreage — are the ones that rely on private wells. Call us and we will tell you what applies to your address.

We were unable to pull past well-depth records specific to Klein, so we will not publish a number we cannot stand behind. What we can tell you is that wells in this area draw from the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers — Kleinwood MUD's own second well is completed in the Evangeline. Depth is site-specific: contact B-E Waterwell Services and we will assess your property before quoting.

In 1999 the State of Texas and the Harris-Galveston Subsidence District required districts in this region to convert from groundwater to surface water to slow land subsidence. That is why districts like Kleinwood now blend their own well production with surface water purchased through the North Harris County Regional Water Authority.

Yes, and it is a large share of our work here. We replace pumps, install and size pressure tanks, and rehabilitate older wells that have lost yield. We replace pumps rather than repair them — a rebuilt pump on a well this depth tends to fail again sooner than it is worth.
