Well Drillers in Arizona

With 51 licensed well drilling contractors listed across Arizona, this directory covers the full range of residential, agricultural, and commercial drilling services available throughout the state. Whether you’re drilling a new domestic well on a rural parcel in Yavapai County or need a high-volume agricultural well in the Willcox Basin, the right driller makes a significant difference in both cost and long-term well performance.

What Arizona Well Drillers Do

A licensed well driller handles the complete process of boring, casing, and developing a new water well. In Arizona, that work typically includes:

Filing the Notice of Intent to Drill with the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) before breaking ground
Conducting a site visit to identify the best drilling location based on property layout, setback requirements from septic systems and property lines, and local geology
Rotary or cable-tool drilling through whatever formation lies beneath — alluvial sands and gravels in the valley basins, fractured granite and basalt in the highlands, or limestone in the Colorado Plateau country
Installing well casing (typically 6-inch diameter PVC or steel for residential wells) and grouting the annular space to prevent surface contamination
Well development — pumping or surging the new well to remove drilling debris and establish stable yield
Pump installation — most drillers also install submersible pumps, though some specialize in drilling only and subcontract pump work
Submitting well completion report to ADWR, which becomes a permanent public record

When You Need a Well Driller

You’re building on a rural parcel with no municipal water connection
Your existing well has collapsed, been contaminated, or is producing insufficient yield
You need a new irrigation or agricultural well
You’re deepening an existing well to reach declining water tables (common in parts of the Prescott AMA and Willcox Basin)
You need a monitoring well for environmental assessment

Licensing Requirements in Arizona

All well drillers in Arizona must be licensed under A.R.S. § 45-596. The Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) issues the C-57 Well Drilling specialty license, which covers both drilling and pump installation. Contractors with 10 or more horsepower pump work must hold this license.

ADWR maintains a separate Driller Registration system. Before hiring any contractor, verify their registration at the ADWR online portal. Unregistered contractors cannot legally submit well completion reports, which means your well won’t have a legal record — a problem when you sell the property or need future service.

Drilling Costs in Arizona

Drilling prices vary significantly by location and formation:

Region	Typical Depth	Per-Foot Rate	Total Estimate
Phoenix metro (alluvial)	400–900 ft	$35–$55/ft	$18,000–$50,000
Tucson basin	300–600 ft	$38–$60/ft	$14,000–$40,000
Yavapai County (hard rock)	300–800 ft	$60–$120/ft	$22,000–$70,000
Coconino County (basalt/limestone)	400–800 ft	$65–$120/ft	$28,000–$75,000
Cochise County (alluvial)	300–700 ft	$40–$65/ft	$16,000–$48,000

These estimates include drilling, casing, and grout — not pump, pressure tank, or electrical. Add $4,000–$12,000 for a complete pump system on a residential well.

Questions to Ask Before Hiring

Are you licensed under the Arizona ROC (C-57) and registered with ADWR? Can I see your registration number?
How many wells have you drilled in this specific county/area? Local experience matters when formations vary.
Do you carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance?
Will you file the Notice of Intent and the completion report with ADWR?
What is your warranty on the drilling work itself?
Do you subcontract pump installation, or is it done in-house?
What is your procedure if the well comes in with poor yield or water quality issues?
