Water Well Service in Alanreed, Texas
Alanreed is a Route 66 survivor on the south edge of Gray County, more ranch headquarters than town these days, and exactly the kind of country where a dependable well is worth more than pavement. We keep the wells around Alanreed pumping: household, stock, windmill, and solar.
Applewhite Water Well covers Alanreed and southern Gray County from our shop in Wheeler.
Well Country: What Makes Alanreed Different
The country around Alanreed rolls off the caprock toward the McClellan Creek drainage, which makes for varied wells: caprock depths on the flats, different formations in the broken ground, and a long ranching history written in windmill towers. Several mills around here have outlived the businesses that once lined the highway.
With Lake McClellan and the national grassland nearby, parts of southern Gray County are recreation and hunting country too. Remote properties like that need water that runs unattended for weeks, which is precisely what a well-built solar system or a maintained mill delivers.
Alanreed properties sit minutes off I-40, which puts them on one of our regular western runs through McLean, Groom, and Pampa. Help is closer than the empty horizon suggests.

Alanreed Well Service Questions
Do you serve McLean as well as Alanreed?
Yes. Our I-40 runs cover Shamrock, McLean, Alanreed, and Groom, and the ranch country around each.
Can you water a hunting property that sits empty most of the year?
Yes. Solar systems with storage and float control run unattended for weeks, which fits absentee properties perfectly.
Is there decent water under the breaks south of Alanreed?
Often yes, but depths and yields shift with the terrain. We check nearby well logs and quote honestly for your specific ground.
Can you revive the windmill on an old family place?
Usually. If the tower is sound we rebuild the rest: motor, wheel, rods, and cylinder. Inspection first, itemized quote second.
How fast can you respond out here?
Alanreed is about an hour out, and no-water calls get priority routing. Call 806-334-0785 and we will give you a real window.
