Johnson County overview → Permit & regulations → TDLR License #61234 DKMPW Updated August 6, 2026

Wells around Godley draw mainly from the Trinity aquifer, with the Woodbine as a minor secondary source in parts of the county. Godley is in western Johnson County, where the Trinity sands are at or near the surface — so wells here can reach water without drilling through the thick Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk cover that overlies the Trinity farther east. The Trinity’s upper Paluxy sand and the deep basal sands (which Prairielands GCD calls the Hensell and Hosston, the same units known as the Twin Mountains farther north) are the primary water source; between them sits the Glen Rose Formation, mostly limestone that holds little water and seals the sand below rather than producing from it.

Drilling rates in Johnson County run $32–$50 per foot, with formation hardness and depth determining where your project falls in that range.

Johnson County Permit Requirements

New wells in Johnson County require a pre-drilling permit through the Prairielands Groundwater Conservation District (PGCD), which covers Ellis, Hill, Johnson, and Somervell counties. The district enforces spacing and setback rules and requires a completion report with driller’s log after the well is finished. For a complete overview, see our guide to Johnson County water well regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which groundwater district covers Godley?
Godley and all of Johnson County fall within the Prairielands Groundwater Conservation District (PGCD), which manages groundwater for Ellis, Hill, Johnson, and Somervell counties. A permit is required before drilling a new well. DFW Well Service submits the permit application on your behalf as part of our standard process.
What formations supply well water in Godley, TX?
Wells in Godley draw mainly from the Trinity aquifer — the upper Paluxy sand and the deeper basal sands (which Prairielands GCD calls the Hensell and Hosston, the same units known as the Twin Mountains farther north) — plus the Woodbine in places as a minor source. Between the Paluxy and those basal sands sits the Glen Rose Formation, mostly limestone that holds little water and seals the sand below rather than producing from it.
How deep are wells near Godley?
There's no single typical depth across Johnson County — it varies meaningfully from one parcel to the next, so we review the driller's logs from neighboring wells before recommending a target depth. Godley is in western Johnson County, where the Trinity is at or near the surface, so wells here can reach it without as much overlying cover as properties farther east.
Is Godley good rural well country?
Yes. Western Johnson County around Godley is ranching and rural-residential territory, and private water wells are the backbone of water supply for many properties out here. We're equipped to drill domestic, stock, and irrigation wells throughout the area and are familiar with the demands of agricultural water systems.
What does well drilling cost near Godley?
Johnson County drilling rates run $32–$50 per foot. Final cost depends on completion depth, casing, pump, and pressure equipment. We provide a free itemized written estimate after reviewing neighboring driller's logs for your parcel.
Can you service a well pump on short notice in Godley?
Yes. We serve the Godley area for pump repair, pressure tank replacement, and well service calls. If your well has lost pressure, the pump is cycling rapidly, or you're getting no water at all, call (940) 536-8560 — we carry common pump sizes and parts on our service trucks and can often resolve issues in a single visit.
Is the well water in Godley salty or brackish?
Mostly fresh. Western Johnson County around Godley draws fresh Trinity at or near the surface. The Texas Water Development Board flags localized salty pockets in the Woodbine outcrop (from natural sulfate) and notes the deep lower Trinity under Johnson County is largely non-fresh, so deeper or eastern wells warrant a full test for total dissolved solids — a measure of how mineral-heavy the water is — and sulfate.
