About these numbers

  • Sources: Suwannee River Water Management District (73 records); St. Johns River Water Management District (1 records). Records were fetched October 25, 2026.
  • What’s counted: wells with a reported depth whose use is household, irrigation, public supply or agricultural. Monitoring wells, injection wells, plugged wells and permits that were never drilled are left out. Methodology.
  • Dates: the source layer for this area publishes no construction or permit date, so we can’t say how recent these wells are.
  • Approximate locations: 7 of 74 records (9%) share their exact map point with at least four other records, so they’re probably placed at a section, subdivision or parcel-group center rather than at the well. That matters for “nearest well” distances, less for area figures like these.
  • Not a guarantee: a record shows how deep one well was permitted or built. It doesn’t predict yield, water quality or what your well will need.

Questions

How deep are wells in Trenton?

Will a new well at my property in Trenton be this deep?
Not necessarily. These are depths other wells were permitted or built to. Depth depends on the aquifer, water quality, use and local rules. A Florida-licensed water well contractor and your water management district can tell you what a new well at your property needs.
Where does this data come from?
From public well-construction records published by the Suwannee River Water Management District and St. Johns River Water Management District. Each well in the lookup links to its original agency record.
