About Us
Pure Mountain Water, One Well at a Time
Nothing matters more to life in the San Juan Mountains than a steady flow of clean, great-tasting water. At Animas Well Drilling, that’s both our craft and our promise. For more than two decades, our family-run crew has helped households, ranches, and remote businesses across La Plata County and the greater Four Corners unlock reliable groundwater, tune up flagging pumps, and safeguard every last drop with the right filtration. We live here, too, so every project feels personal.
When you call, you won’t land in an automated maze. You’ll speak directly with someone who understands mountain geology, permitting red tape, and the frustration of weak water pressure. We’ll set up an on-site visit, walk the property with you, pull a quick water sample, and lay out plain-language options—no pressure, no jargon. By the time we roll our rigs onto your land, you’ll know exactly what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and how much it will cost.

Testimonials

I had very hard water in my house, tinged with a metal taste. Animas Well Drilling came in and conditioned my water with natural softening agents. Now I can drink water straight from the tap and my clothes are softer. They made a huge improvement to the water in my home.

We live in a rural area and it is expensive to get hooked up to the city’s water system. Animas Well Drilling came in and installed a well so we could save money and get purer water. We couldn’t be happier with our new water.

The pump in our well wasn’t providing much water pressure, so we called Animas Well Drilling. They came out the same day and removed a blockage and repaired a small leak. They solved the problem in a few hours and were very professional.
