The water isn't in the listing.
In Arizona, whether you can drill, how deep and at what cost depends on where the land sits: inside an Active Management Area, inside an Irrigation Non-Expansion Area, or outside both. A listing rarely says which, or whether the subdivision's covenants allow a well.
The answers sit with the Arizona Department of Water Resources and the county. Getting them takes hours of calls and searches. Water Table reads them for the parcel and puts each answer on one page.
What reports have found
- On 41 acres in Mohave County, state law allows a household well, but the subdivision's recorded covenants may not. The report names what to ask for before closing.
- On the same land, wells nearby run about 700 feet deep, about $43,000 all in. The nearest hauled water is about 10 miles away, at $4.25 per 1,000 gallons.
- On 4.6 acres in Cochise County, the land can be split into up to four lots, each on its own well.

Questions
Where does the information come from?
Public records: well records from the Arizona Department of Water Resources, water rights and filings, county parcel and assessor records, and federal flood, wildfire and water quality data. Each answer lists the records it read and the date each was loaded.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is not legal advice, a title search or an appraisal. Each answer names who decides the question, so you know who to confirm it with.
What if the seller says there is a well and the report shows none?
The report shows what the state has on record. A well can exist without a record on file, and the report lists what to ask the seller for.
Can I share a report with a client?
Yes. Every report has a share link. Your client opens it without an account, with your name and contact at the top.
How current is it?
Each dataset is reloaded on its own schedule, and every answer shows the date the records behind it were loaded.
