Wells around Pilot Point draw mainly from the Woodbine, the primary residential aquifer across eastern Denton County. The Woodbine here is sandstone layered with shale and clay, up to about 600 feet thick underground, and wells usually tap its lower two water-bearing zones. Beneath it, separated by confining limestone, lie the deeper Trinity sands — the Paluxy and Twin Mountains — which serve as the fallback where a well needs to go further. Depth varies meaningfully from one parcel to the next, so there’s no single typical figure for the area, and we pull the driller’s logs from nearby wells before estimating.
Drilling rates in Denton County typically run $38–$50 per foot. Mixed formations and occasional hard limestone can affect total project cost. Longer term, the district projects the water level in the deeper Twin Mountains sand under Denton County to drop several hundred feet by 2080 — the steepest decline in the region — which is worth designing a well around.
