Peaster sits on FM 920 about nine miles northwest of Weatherford. It was settled in the 1870s when H. H. Peaster bought land there, was known as Freemont and then Peasterville, and is best known today for its school district and as the birthplace of writer Robert E. Howard. Over the last decade, the farmland around it has filled with homes on acreage, nearly all on private wells. The state records make the growth plain. Drillers filed **924 new household well reports** within about five miles of Peaster between January 2021 and September 2026, more than any other town in our area. That includes 286 in 2022 alone, the same year Parker County logged more new household wells than in any year since the state’s online reports began in 2001. Over 2016–2020, the same area had 453. Peaster wells are also the most predictable we see. The median depth is **220 ft**, the middle half fall between 200 and 240 ft, and only 2% went 400 ft or deeper. Water stands about 90 ft down in a typical new well. That consistency makes Peaster wells straightforward to design and price. It also means the main constraints are spacing and water level, not depth. With hundreds of wells drilled close together, the Upper Trinity district’s 2027 spacing rules matter here: 100 ft from property lines and 300 ft from other wells for household-class wells. On newer, tighter subdivisions, finding a compliant site for a second well, or a replacement, can take real measuring. The district also keeps a monitoring well near Peaster. It once recorded a 1.75-ft drop over three weeks in July, about what the aquifer normally loses across a whole summer. It’s a reminder that many wells drawing on the same sands add up. For Peaster homeowners, most of the work over the next few years will be on young wells hitting their first repairs. Pressure tanks usually go first, then switches, then pumps. A yearly check and [water test](https://waterwelldrillingweatherford.com/services/well-water-testing/) catch the tank before it takes the pump with it.

Main routes: FM 920 · FM 920 south to Weatherford ## How a Peaster well call works 1. **Call and triage.** A person answers and asks what the gauge reads, whether the breaker has tripped and when water stopped. Some calls end right there with a reset that gets you through the night. 2. **Test at the wellhead.** We check voltage and amp draw, the pressure switch, tank pre-charge and, when needed, the static water level, so the diagnosis rests on readings instead of guesses. 3. **Written price, your call.** You get the fix, the price and the alternatives in writing before any pump comes out of the hole: repair the control, replace the pump, or both. 4. **Fix, disinfect, prove it.** After the work we run the system through full cycles, check pressure and flow, and chlorinate the well when it has been opened.
