The depth of the well drives the per-foot cost of drilling it. Even if the contractor fails to find water, the homeowner pays for every foot drilled. An average well depth in Indiana, for example, runs about 120 feet deep. At $15 per foot -- including drilling and casing -- a 120-foot well costs $1,800.A mid-range price of $22.50 per foot results in a $2,700 well, while a $30 per foot well costs $3,600 not including permit fees and equipment costs. What lies under the ground can figure into the cost as well.A well drilled in solid rock might not require the casing, but it can also affect the depth of the well. Wells drilled in solid rock can be as deep as 400 feet or more. At $15 per foot, that equates to $6,000. At $22.50 per foot expect to pay $9,000.t $15 per foot -- including drilling and casing -- a 120-foot well costs $1,800.
