Wise County overview → Permit & regulations → TDLR License #61234 DKMPW Updated June 4, 2026

Wells around Rhome draw from the Trinity aquifer’s Paluxy and Twin Mountains sands, in the southeastern corner of Wise County where the Trinity sits deeper and more sealed-in than in the outcrop areas to the west. Planning records from TWDB and UTGCD note rapidly falling water levels in the Rhome/New Fairview area, so deeper drilling can be needed for reliable long-term yield. Between the two productive sands sits the Glen Rose Formation — mostly limestone that holds little water and seals the sand below. Good casing is especially important here because of occasional shallow perched water zones — isolated pockets of water above the main aquifer.

Wise County Permit Requirements

All water well construction in Rhome falls under the jurisdiction of the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District (UTGCD), in addition to statewide TDLR licensing requirements. Property owners must obtain a well registration from UTGCD before drilling begins. The district also sets spacing rules that determine how close a well can be to property lines and neighboring wells, while TDLR construction standards govern separation distances from septic systems. For a full overview of local rules, see our guide to Wise County water well regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How deep are water wells typically drilled in Rhome, TX?
There's no single typical depth around Rhome — it varies meaningfully by parcel, and some Rhome-area wells may need to go deeper, so we review the driller's logs from neighboring wells before quoting a project. Rhome sits in southeastern Wise County, and planning records document rapidly falling water levels in the Rhome/New Fairview vicinity — one reason a deeper, well-cased completion can be worth it for reliable long-term yield.
What does it cost to drill a new well near Rhome?
Drilling rates in Wise County typically run $38–$50 per foot, depending on depth, casing requirements, and site conditions. Total cost depends on completion depth and the full system. We provide a free itemized written estimate after reviewing neighboring driller's logs for your parcel.
Do I need a permit to drill a well in Rhome?
Yes. All new wells in Wise County must be registered with the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District and comply with TDLR (Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation) standards. DFW Well Service handles all permit filings as part of your project.
My pump lost pressure — how quickly can you respond?
We offer prompt service calls throughout the Rhome and Wise County area. In many cases we can schedule a same-day or next-day visit. Call us at (940) 536-8560 and we'll get your water running again.
Should I test my well water in Rhome?
Yes, annual water testing is recommended for all private wells. We test for bacteria, nitrates, pH, hardness, and other common contaminants found in Trinity aquifer wells. Testing is especially important after heavy rains or any nearby construction activity.
Can you rehabilitate an older well that has slowed down?
Absolutely. Many older wells in Wise County suffer from mineral encrustation or pump wear. We offer well rehabilitation services including hydro-jetting, brushing, and pump replacement that can restore yield without the cost of drilling a new well.
Is the well water in Rhome salty or brackish?
Mostly fresh. Rhome's Trinity (the Antlers and Twin Mountains sand) is generally fresh, but the Texas Water Development Board found slightly-salty water in the Twin Mountains basal sand on the shallower, western side of the county — toward where it nears the surface — and the older Cross Timbers rock in western Wise County can be mineralized. A total-dissolved-solids test (a measure of how mineral-heavy the water is) is worth it on wells in the western part of the county.
