Kennedale sits in southeastern Tarrant County, between Fort Worth, Arlington, and Mansfield. Most of the town is on municipal water, with private wells found on the larger-lot and semi-rural tracts around the edges. It is worth being clear about the geology: the limited Trinity outcrop in Tarrant County is confined to the far northwestern corner, and here on the eastern side of the county the Trinity is deep and confined — among the deepest anywhere in Tarrant.

Wells here target the Trinity aquifer. Up high is the Paluxy Formation, a sand-dominant unit that lies at or near the surface only in the far northwest corner and deepens toward the east — countywide the Paluxy runs from surface to roughly 1,000 feet. Beneath it, separated by the Glen Rose limestone — which acts as a confining layer here, not a producer — are the Twin Mountains sands, the most productive Trinity unit, sitting roughly 500 to 2,000 feet and also deepening eastward. A minor Woodbine aquifer is present in the eastern Tarrant suburbs and supplies some household and livestock water, but its yields are lower and its water poorer than the Trinity.

Tarrant County Permit Requirements

Water wells in Kennedale and Tarrant County fall under the Northern Trinity Groundwater Conservation District (NTGCD), a single-county district created in 2007. A typical domestic household well — one not capable of producing more than 17.36 gallons per minute and used for household, livestock, or agricultural purposes — is exempt from permitting, metering, and production fees. Even so, every well drilled in the county must still be registered with the district. Larger, non-exempt wells require a permit before drilling. Our guide to Tarrant County water well regulations walks through the full process.

DFW Well Service handles the NTGCD registration and any permitting as part of your project. Call (940) 536-8560 for a free estimate on a new well or any pump and service work in Kennedale or southeastern Tarrant County.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are homes in Kennedale on city water or private wells?
Most homes inside Kennedale are on municipal water. Private wells turn up on the larger-lot and semi-rural tracts around the edges of town in southeastern Tarrant County, between Fort Worth, Arlington, and Mansfield. If your property sits outside a water-supply line, a well is possible — but here in the eastern part of the county the Trinity is deep and confined.
What aquifer do wells near Kennedale tap into?
The Trinity aquifer. Kennedale sits on the eastern side of Tarrant County, where Trinity depths are among the greatest across the county: the upper Paluxy sand, the Glen Rose limestone acting as a confining layer, and beneath it the Twin Mountains sands — the most productive Trinity unit. A minor Woodbine aquifer is also present in eastern Tarrant, but it is poorer and higher in iron than the Trinity.
How deep do wells go around Kennedale?
It varies with target and location, and Trinity depths increase from west to east across Tarrant County — so Kennedale, on the eastern side, sits toward the deeper end. Countywide the Paluxy runs from at or near surface in the far northwest down toward about 1,000 feet, and the Twin Mountains sands sit roughly 500 to 2,000 feet. We estimate your likely depth from nearby driller's logs before quoting.
Do I need a permit to drill a well in Tarrant County?
Tarrant County is covered by the Northern Trinity Groundwater Conservation District (NTGCD). A typical domestic household well producing under 17.36 gallons per minute is exempt from permitting, metering, and fees — but every well drilled in the county must still be registered with the district. Larger, non-exempt wells require a permit before drilling. We handle the registration and any permitting.
What is the water quality like in Kennedale-area wells?
Trinity water in Tarrant County is generally good — typically fresh, with low dissolved solids — which is why the Trinity is the preferred target. It is usually hard, so most homeowners run a softener. The eastern-Tarrant Woodbine is the poorer unit: higher in iron, and fresh only to about 1,500 feet of well depth before turning slightly to moderately salty below that. A post-drilling water test confirms what your specific well needs.
What does it cost to drill a well near Kennedale?
Cost depends on completion depth, casing, and which Trinity sand you finish in — and because Kennedale is on the deeper, eastern side of the county, wells here run deeper than in the shallow northwest corner. We give a free written estimate after reviewing your parcel and nearby logs.
Can DFW Well Service repair my pump in Kennedale?
Yes. Kennedale and southeastern Tarrant County are in our service area. Call (940) 536-8560 and describe the symptoms — no water, low pressure, or a pump that will not stop cycling — and we will get a technician out.
