About Rivercrest

Serving Rivercrest Since 1979

Rivercrest is an enclave of large wooded estates in west Houston, inside Beltway 8, bordered by Buffalo Bayou to the north and Westheimer to the south. Lots here commonly run three to four acres, and that changes the water picture entirely — many properties carry both a City of Houston connection and a private well, with the well handling irrigation and landscape demand across acreage that municipal service was never priced for. B-E Waterwell drills, services, and rehabilitates those wells.

Local Water Districts

Who Supplies Water in Rivercrest

City of Houston

Provides public water service to the Rivercrest area. Many estates here run a dual system — city water to the house, private well for irrigation and landscape demand across the acreage.

Harris-Galveston Subsidence District

Holds groundwater jurisdiction over this part of Houston. Its single-family exemption is what makes a private residential well practical on a lot this size.

Permitting

This area falls under the Harris-Galveston Subsidence District. A well with a casing diameter of less than five inches that serves only a single-family dwelling is exempt from HGSD permit requirements — which covers most residential wells. Irrigation, commercial, and larger-diameter wells do require a permit, and B-E Waterwell handles that filing as part of the job.

Common Questions

Waterwell FAQs — Rivercrest, TX

Can I have a private water well in Rivercrest?

Yes, and many properties here do. Lots in Rivercrest average close to four acres, and a dual arrangement — City of Houston water to the house, private well for irrigation — is common. HGSD exempts wells under five inches of casing serving a single-family dwelling from permitting.

Why would I want a well if I already have city water?

Irrigation. Watering three or four acres of established landscape on municipal water gets expensive quickly, and a private irrigation well is not subject to the same volumetric cost. It is the main reason wells exist on large lots inside the Beltway.

How deep are wells in the Rivercrest area?

We were unable to pull past well-depth records specific to Rivercrest and we do not publish numbers we cannot source. Wells in this part of Harris County draw from the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers. Contact B-E Waterwell Services and we will assess your property.

Do you service existing wells in west Houston?

Yes. Pump replacement, pressure tank sizing, and rehabilitation of older wells that have lost yield are a large part of what we do inside the Beltway.
