New wells · Salisbury & Rowan County
A water supply planned around your property.
Building a home or considering a new water source? A new well starts with understanding the property—not choosing a pump. Talk through your location, expected water use, and project timeline before work begins.

Start with the right foundation
Good planning comes before drilling.
Well location, depth, and yield depend on the site. A property review helps identify access needs, required setbacks, and local permitting questions. Pump and pressure-tank sizing should follow the well’s actual performance and the household’s needs.
Water demand
Consider bathrooms, household size, irrigation, and any future additions. These details help frame the discussion about storage and equipment.
Permits & next steps
Confirm requirements with Rowan County Environmental Health before construction. Ask what is included in the proposed work and who handles each step.
What comes next
A clear place
to begin.
Use the first conversation to understand the scope, not to commit to work you haven’t reviewed.
- Share your property location and building plans.
- Review site constraints, permitting, and the proposed scope.
- Discuss well performance, equipment selection, and water testing before use.
- After you authorize work, ask the provider to explain the completed work, care instructions, and any follow-up testing or service needed.
A few helpful answers
Before you call.
Clear information for your next step.
How deep will my new well need to be?
Depth cannot be determined from an address alone. Local geology and conditions encountered during drilling affect depth and yield; nearby well records may offer context but do not guarantee results.
What affects the cost of a new well?
Site access, drilling conditions, depth, casing, pump equipment, electrical work, and the water line all affect scope. Ask for a written estimate that explains inclusions, exclusions, and how changes are handled.
Should I arrange a well before building?
Discuss the water supply early in the site-planning process so the well and septic layout, access, and utility routes can be considered together. Confirm the required approvals with the county.
Does new well water need testing?
Yes. Clear water alone does not establish drinking-water safety. Arrange appropriate testing and follow local health guidance before using a new supply for drinking or cooking.
