Private wells around Gruver
Gruver is in western Hansford County, west of Spearman. It’s about 77 miles north of Amarillo in Hansford County. Household wells draw from the Ogallala Aquifer. The Texas Water Development Board describes Ogallala water north of the Canadian River as generally fresh.
Water levels in the northern Panhandle are often several hundred feet down, so household wells use deep submersible pumps. A failing check valve, worn pump, or damaged wire splice can look a lot like a dry well, so a proper diagnosis saves money.
Drilling or replacing a well near Gruver
According to Texas Water Development Board maps, Gruver is within the North Plains Groundwater Conservation District. Small domestic and livestock wells are exempt from the district’s production permits, spacing, and metering, but a new well must be registered with the district before drilling, and drilling can’t begin until the district approves it.
