Water Well Drilling Weatherford drills and services water wells around Poolville, in northwest Parker County, for houses, barns and pastures. The town takes its name from a large spring-fed pool around which it grew in the early 1880s. It had a bank, two hotels and its own newspaper by 1910. Today Poolville sits at the junction of FM 920 and FM 3107, about 18 miles northwest of Weatherford, and its school district reaches from northern Parker into southern Wise County.
The land around it has been filling in fast. Drillers filed 685 new household well reports within about five miles of Poolville between January 2021 and September 2026. That’s four times the 167 filed in 2016–2020, with 191 in 2022 alone. Those wells are among the most uniform in the county. The median is 215 ft, the middle half sit between 200 and 220 ft, and only about 1% went 400 ft or deeper. Water typically stands about 80 ft down. The median has hardly moved in 20 years: 200 ft in 2006–2010, 215–220 ft since.
That predictability makes Poolville wells simple to plan. It also makes the area a good fit for pasture wells. At 200–220 ft with water at 80 ft, the lift is modest, which suits solar pumps for back pastures without power. For cattle and horses, we size the well and storage to AgriLife’s peak demand figures: 7–16 gallons per head per day for cattle and 8–12 for horses, and more in a North Texas August.

Poolville’s history shows up in the ground too. Older farmsteads often have a hand-dug well or an early drilled well that nobody uses anymore. Texas law makes an abandoned or deteriorated well the landowner’s responsibility to plug. Plugging it before you sell, subdivide or drill a new well nearby avoids problems with buyers and district spacing.
A small share of nearby wells are in Wise County, which is also Upper Trinity district territory. The district’s 2027 rule requires 5 acres for new subdivisions where the Trinity is 60 ft thick or less, and the district’s list of affected areas centers on western Wise County. For land north of Poolville toward the county line, we check your tract on the district’s map before you buy.
