City water or private well?
Inside its service area, Nixa Utilities supplies water from its own system of about 10 wells and 8 water towers, so city customers call the city for water problems. Utilities office: 1010 Eaglecrest, 417-725-2353.
If your home is outside that system, on an acreage or in an older subdivision, your water likely comes from a private well, and the pump, pressure tank, and well are yours to maintain. That’s where we can help.
Groundwater around Nixa
Nixa sits about 6 miles south of Springfield in one of the fastest-growing parts of the region. A U.S. Geological Survey report notes that Nixa, Ozark, and Republic rely on groundwater as their main supply and that water use in these communities rose about 39% after 1990.
Researchers at Missouri State University have documented a large cone of groundwater decline under Springfield that has spread south into northern Christian County. In 2002, private well owners south of Springfield reported low water levels, which prompted mapping of a new area of decline. For a homeowner, that’s one more reason a pump that starts sputtering or losing pressure deserves a professional look, since the water level, not just the pump, may be part of the story.
Why wells here are deep
Nixa is in Missouri’s Drilling Area 9, which covers Greene and parts of Christian County. State rules there require bedrock wells to be cased at least 10 feet below the Ozark Confining Unit, the layer that separates the shallow, contamination-prone aquifer from the deeper Ozark aquifer, with the bottom of the casing grouted. Missouri DNR’s map of minimum casing depths for this area ranges from about 80 to 410 feet depending on location.
Deep casings and deep-set pumps mean that pulling a pump usually takes a hoist or rig, and repairs cost more than on shallow wells. It also means a cracked cap or damaged casing is worth fixing promptly, since it can open a path for surface water.
