Building or Buying Property in Ball Ground?

Properties in and around Ball Ground aren’t all served the same way. The City of Ball Ground operates a municipal water system serving customers both inside and outside the city limits, but whether public water is available — or whether a private well is the right fit — has to be determined for the specific property.

The City’s own building-permit application asks applicants to identify their water source as either a service line or a well, which reflects that water source is a property-specific decision worked out during site and building planning. That option existing on the permit form isn’t approval for a well on any given parcel — that still depends on the property itself.

Plan the Water With the Property

Well placement, septic placement, driveway access, and drilling-equipment access can all affect each other — it’s worth thinking through before the property layout gets locked in. Where septic is involved, Cherokee County Environmental Health evaluates the site and handles septic permitting. See our Water Well Drilling page for our full process, or we can talk through what a well would look like for your property.

What to Consider

  • Whether existing water service is available — worth confirming before assuming a well is needed.
  • Proposed well location relative to the home, septic, and property lines.
  • Septic location and required separation — Georgia DPH sets minimum separation distances.
  • Drilling-equipment and driveway access — a practical path for our rigs to reach the site.
  • Planned water needs for the household or property going forward.

Know Who’s Drilling Your Well

Before hiring anyone to drill a well, it’s worth knowing who actually holds the Georgia water well contractor’s license, and whose crew and equipment will be doing the work. Georgia requires a licensed contractor to construct a private well, with limited exceptions such as certain landowner household or farm wells.

Groundwater Pros is a licensed Georgia water well drilling company serving Ball Ground and the surrounding area. Our licensed drillers, crews, rigs, and drilling equipment are part of our own operation.

What Happens When Groundwater Pros Drills Your Well?

We start by talking through your property and the project, then check equipment access and a practical well location on site. From there, we drill the well and keep you updated throughout.

For the full process, cost factors, and what to expect, see our Water Well Drilling page.

Ready to Build? Your Well Shouldn’t Hold Up the Project.

Long drilling backlogs can delay construction and everything that depends on getting water to the property. Groundwater Pros owns and operates our drilling equipment and has three Georgia-licensed water well drillers, giving our team the capacity to keep multiple projects moving.

Current scheduling changes as projects are completed and added, so call us to check current drilling availability for your property.

Already Have a Well That Isn’t Producing Enough?

Not every low-producing well needs to be replaced. Groundwater Pros operates two hydrofracking rigs and camera-inspects the well before treatment begins — if we find a condition that means hydrofracking shouldn’t proceed, we let you know before moving forward. It isn’t right for every well, and we don’t promise a specific result. Learn more about Hydrofracking.

Pump Installation & Service

Once your well is in, we also handle pump installation, replacement, and service for the whole system.

Well Water Filtration

If taste, staining, or water quality becomes a concern, we test the water and match filtration to what’s actually there.

Ball Ground Well Drilling Questions

Yes. Groundwater Pros provides water well drilling in the Ball Ground area from our North Georgia operation in Talking Rock.

No. The City of Ball Ground operates a municipal water system serving customers both inside and outside the city limits, but service availability depends on the particular property.

Private wells are used in Georgia, and the City of Ball Ground’s building-permit application recognizes a well as one possible water-service type. Whether a private well is suitable, and what’s required, still has to be determined for the specific property.

Georgia DPH sets a minimum of 50 feet from a septic tank and 100 feet from a septic absorption field, though other siting requirements may also apply.

Georgia requires private wells to be installed by a licensed water well contractor, with limited exceptions provided by law.

The Georgia EPD publishes the current list of licensed water well contractors. You can check any contractor, including Groundwater Pros, before work begins.

We can consider hydrofracking for an existing low-yield well before assuming a new well is needed. We camera-inspect the well before treatment begins, and if we find a condition that means hydrofracking shouldn’t proceed, we let you know before moving forward — it isn’t right for every well, and results aren’t guaranteed.
