Our story began in 1958, when C.R. Smith started drilling water wells in Woodland Park, CO. After a time he made his way to Gilpin County and for a while drilled wells in both locations. Preferring Gilpin County, he bought some property - the same property that our company is located on today.
C.R.'s son Frank worked with his dad on and off throughout his childhood, and in 1978 he talked his dad into buying a new drill rig and he took over the well drilling completely.He's still at it today, along with his wife Anne and their son's David and Adam. We are one of the very few companies that not only drill the well but install, replace, and repair the submersible pumps and pump systems that are part of your water supply.

Report
Drilling a quality well takes time, patience, hard work, and attention to details. We know, because we've been drilling wells since 1958, and we know what it takes to drill a quality well. Driller Frank Smith learned the craft of drilling from his father C.R, who started drilling in 1958 (see About Us).
Resources
Report
The Colorado Division of Water Resources (DWR), also known as the Office of the State Engineer, administers water rights and issues water well permits. Mountain water wells require a 6-8 foot deep underground water line to prevent freezing in the winter. Though we install the lines, professional excavation is required to dig trenches deep enough to accommodate these lines.
