A New Well Is a Long-Term Investment. Get It Right the First Time.
Whether you’re building on raw acreage in Bingham County, expanding an agricultural operation near Rigby, or replacing a failing well in Firth, the quality of your well drilling project will affect your water supply for decades. Poor site selection, inadequate casing, or improper development can lead to low yield, contamination risk, or early failure.
L&C Well & Pump and Teton Water Works approach every drilling project with the same discipline: assess the site carefully, drill to the right depth, case and grout correctly, develop the well properly, and test the yield before calling it done. Every step matters.
We serve residential homeowners, ranchers, farmers, and developers across Southeast Idaho — including Shelley, Blackfoot, Firth, Idaho Falls, Rigby, and the surrounding communities of Bingham, Bonneville, and Jefferson Counties.

New well drilling for homes, cabins, and rural properties across Southeast Idaho. Sized correctly for your household's daily water demand.

Our 5-Step Well Drilling Process
From permit to pump — L&C and Teton Water Works manage the entire project.
01
Site Evaluation & Permitting
Before a single foot of hole is drilled, we assess your property for optimal well placement — factoring in geology, setback requirements, and Idaho DEQ permitting. All permits are handled for you.
02
Professional Well Drilling
Using modern cable-tool and rotary drilling rigs operated by Teton Water Works' expert crew — with 35+ years in the field — we drill to the depth and diameter your property requires.
03
Casing & Grouting
Proper steel or PVC casing is installed and grouted to protect your aquifer from surface contamination and ensure long-term structural integrity — code-compliant from day one.
04
Well Development & Yield Testing
The completed well is developed to remove drilling debris and sediment, then yield-tested to confirm it produces adequate flow for your household or agricultural needs.
05
Pump Installation
L&C Well & Pump completes the system by selecting and installing the correct pump, pressure tank, and controls — handing you a fully operational water system ready for use.

Well Drilling Questions & Answers
How deep will my well need to be in Southeast Idaho?
Depth varies significantly by location and aquifer. In Bingham County (Shelley, Blackfoot, Firth), residential wells commonly range from 150 to 400+ feet. In Bonneville County (Idaho Falls) and Jefferson County (Rigby), depths can vary from 100 to 500+ feet depending on the aquifer being targeted. After site evaluation, we can give you a much more specific estimate based on neighboring well logs.
How long does it take to drill a new well?
A typical residential well in Southeast Idaho takes 1–3 days of active drilling, depending on depth, rock formations, and equipment. Permitting, site prep, and pump installation add additional time. From project start to fully operational water system, most residential projects are completed within 1–2 weeks.
What permits are required to drill a well in Idaho?
Idaho requires a water right (administered by Idaho Department of Water Resources) and a well construction permit from Idaho DEQ before drilling begins. L&C Well & Pump and Teton Water Works handle the permit coordination process — you don’t need to navigate state agencies on your own.
How much water will my new well produce?
Well yield depends on the aquifer, depth, and geological conditions of your specific site. After drilling and development, we conduct a yield test to measure gallons per minute. Residential wells in Southeast Idaho typically produce between 5 and 50+ GPM. We’ll confirm yield before completing the project.
Why is Teton Water Works involved in L&C's drilling projects?
L&C Well & Pump partners with Teton Water Works — a licensed well drilling contractor with 35+ years of experience in Idaho — to bring our customers the most capable and experienced drilling crew available. This partnership means you get the trust and personal service of a local owner-operated business backed by one of the region’s most experienced drilling operations.
Is my well water safe to drink?
Newly drilled wells should always be tested for water quality before use. We recommend testing for bacteria, nitrates, and minerals at minimum. L&C can refer you to certified water testing labs in Southeast Idaho. Water quality can also be affected by aquifer conditions, casing integrity, and surface contamination — all factors we address during proper installation.
What Our Customers Say
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My pump stopped working on a Sunday night and I was able to contact Kirt Monday morning and he came over early in the afternoon and did a complete diagnosis. After he pulled the pump (which was in a difficult area) he found that the pump shaft had broken. By late afternoon I had a new pump, wiring and stainless fittings and WALLA I had wonderful, clean water. So very thankful for his fast and painless service. Great work and reasonable price. THANK YOU!Posted on Google Timothy ReeseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kirt with L&C Well & Pump Service LLC did an outstanding job helping us with our well issue. We had been dealing with intermittent water problems for a couple of weeks and eventually lost water completely. Kirt came out Friday evening to diagnose the issue, even though he had other plans, and was back exactly when he said he would be to complete the repair. He quickly identified the problem as a rusted-out pipe with a hole about a foot above the pump and had us back up and running fast. I also appreciated seeing him bring his son along. It's great to see someone teaching the next generation a trade and passing on valuable skills while providing excellent service. Kirt is knowledgeable, dependable, communicates well, and follows through on what he says he'll do. I highly recommend L&C Well & Pump Service LLC to anyone needing well or pump service.Posted on Google Jake RosenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding service! I would give six stars if I could. Kurt was very professional and responsive, he came out the same day I called. Well pump had failed and he very capably replaced it, ensuring that he used quality parts and taking the "extra step" to help prevent any issues in the future. Above all, he didn't mind me observing and asking numerous questions to enhance my knowledge of my well system. Plus, he is a very friendly character, so the conversation evolved into other topics as well. Although having to replace your well pump is not fun, this may have been the most enjoyable service call I have ever experienced. Thanks Kurt!Posted on Google Matthew PettingerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had no idea what I was looking at. Just saw that there was a problem with water pressure. Seemed like the pump was kicking on and off too frequently. But I didn't know. I called, got an appointment and the problem was diagnosed rather quickly. But Kirt didn't stop there. He took the time to talk me through what was what and investigated some other possible issues. I am really grateful for the time and the quality of service. I'd seriously recommend L&C. It was extremely hard to get in touch with anyone else on the list of people around here who provide repair services. L&C was so helpful and fast! Call them. I don't think you will be disappointed at all!Posted on Google Mr GeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys saved me when my well died during the holidays. They brought instruments and equipment to troubleshoot the problem beyond a doubt. They were way more than fair and helpful to me!Posted on Google McKay AndersenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Prompt service, good people, I guarantee you will be pleased.Posted on Google orval BurnsideTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The BEST customer service we’ve had in a long time! Jim and Kirt were so friendly and professional. They even changed their shoes every time they went in and out of the house. We had them install a new pump, all new pipe, electrical wiring and pressure switch. They also installed a new electrical box inside the house that improved some wiring mistakes that had been made by the previous owners. It made the over all look much better and cleaner. They offered multiple suggestions and options of what to do with our well system, and made sure we knew how to maintain it. Highly recommend giving them a call for your needs. Awesome guys!Posted on Google Mike MeserveyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They were so good to us! We truly appreciate their services, they stayed late to make sure we had water. They told us about the things we didnt understand and we are so thankful for them! Above 5 stars!!!Posted on Google Destri E.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Contacted 4 different pump service companies. L&C was the one who responded right away, came out right away and fixed right away. I appreciate them.Posted on Google Steve Decker
