I am trying to find out what is the water table depth in Forney, Tx. I have considered drilling my own well for watering my lawn and/ or garden. If the water table is past 20 or thirty feet, I understand that it would be unfeisable. Does any one have this info available?

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation is responsible for the licensing of well drillers. On this page they have a search function that can be used to map the location of aquifers (major and minor) and also view the drilled well reports in that area https://texaswellreports.twdb.state....-new/index.asp . You can use this to see what aquifers are there and how deep the drillers had to go in that area to reach water. It has other useful information as well. If you do decide to drill a well make sure you use the TDLR search function to find a licensed driller. Even though the proper well drilling equipment is expensive there are still unlicensed people out there drilling wells.

The water table is probably a couple of feet down.

What you are looking for is an aquifer. Probably in the neighborhood of $20,000 to drill the well and a lot of $$ to run the pump. IIRC you have the woodbine aquifer. Its 2000 feet down and full of minerals.

Get a coop hookup and save your money.
