IDWR well records, searchable by address
Every Idaho well log is filed with the Idaho Department of Water Resources wells database. Those records are public, but they are organized by mapped location and record number — not by street address. We hold 199,803 of them and rebuild the index weekly, so you can start from an address instead.

Enter any Idaho address and we return the wells recorded around it — every Idaho well carries a mapped location, but the state places most of them from the legal land description — about six in ten sit at the centre of a quarter-quarter section, roughly a quarter-mile square — so results show the records around a property rather than a single wellhead.

Not every filed report carries every field — older records are thinner, and what the state captured changed over the decades. This is the real coverage across all 199,803 records, so you know what to expect before you search.
| Field | What it tells you | Records with it | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original log document | A direct link to the IDWR copy of the filed log itself. | 199,803 (100%) | |
| Mapped location | Coordinates, so the log can be found by address instead of by record number. | 199,679 (100%) | |
| Date completed | When the well was finished and the log filed. | 189,848 (95%) | |
| Static water level | How far below the surface the water stood at rest. | 180,669 (90%) | |
| Total depth | How deep the hole was drilled, in feet. | 134,178 (67%) | |
| Street address | A street address on the filed report (varies a lot by state and era). | 126,832 (63%) | |
| Tested yield | Gallons per minute the well produced on the driller’s pump test. | 122,239 (61%) |
How this differs from going to IDWR directly
Nothing here replaces the official record, and for a single well you already have the record number for, IDWR is the place to go (idwr.idaho.gov/wells). What this site adds is the part that is hard from the source data:
- An address is enough. You do not need a record number, a section-township-range, or a latitude to start. Every Idaho well carries a mapped location, but the state places most of them from the legal land description — about six in ten sit at the centre of a quarter-quarter section, roughly a quarter-mile square — so results show the records around a property rather than a single wellhead.
- The neighbours, not just the well. Buyers and lenders care what depth and yield are normal nearby, which means reading many records at once, not one.
- The same statistics everywhere. Median depth, static water level and yield are computed identically in every county, so two counties can actually be compared. The exact filters are on the methodology page.
- The original is always one click away. 199,803 of our records carry a direct link to the IDWR copy of the filed log itself.

Common questions
With IDWR — the Idaho Department of Water Resources wells database. Every Idaho driller files a completion report there for each well drilled, and that filing is the authoritative copy of the record. The official site is idwr.idaho.gov/wells.
Not directly — well records are filed against a mapped location and a record number, not a mailing address, which is the single most common reason people give up on the search. That is exactly the gap this site fills: enter an address on our free lookup and we return the recorded wells around that point, every Idaho well carries a mapped location, but the state places most of them from the legal land description — about six in ten sit at the centre of a quarter-quarter section, roughly a quarter-mile square — so results show the records around a property rather than a single wellhead.
No, and it is not meant to be. This is an independent index built from the data IDWR publishes, rebuilt weekly. Every well we show links back to its own IDWR record, so you can always open the original filed log. If our copy and the state's ever disagree, the state's is right.
Our current copy holds 199,803 records across 44 counties, with completion dates from 1912 to 2026. That is everything IDWR publishes in its bulk record set as of 2026-08-21. Wells drilled before the state's filing requirement — and hand-dug or unpermitted wells — were never filed anywhere, so they are in neither copy.
Searching by address here is free, the same as searching IDWR is free. What we charge for is the compiled property report — every recorded well near one address, with the statistics and the original log links, as one printable document for a sale or a loan file. That is $29.
The property report pulls every recorded well near an address — depths, water levels, yields, drillers , and links to each original filed log — as one printable summary for due diligence.
