About Bay County

We’re proud to serve Bay County.

NWFL Drillers is headquartered right here in Panama City Beach, so Bay County is home turf. From beach lots off Front Beach Road to acreage up in Youngstown and Fountain, we drill shallow irrigation wells and deep aquifer spring wells, set pumps, and handle the permits, licensed, local, and open seven days a week.

Why we offer service in Bay County

Sandy coastal soil sits over a shallow surficial aquifer that’s ideal for irrigation wells, while the deeper Floridan aquifer supplies clear, clean drinking water. Near the Gulf, proper depth and casing matter: salt air is hard on equipment. And up in Southport, Youngstown, and Fountain, plenty of properties sit past the utility lines entirely.

A little about Bay County

Bay County split off from Washington and Calhoun counties in 1913, growing up around the old fishing village of St. Andrews and the port town of Panama City. Tyndall Air Force Base arrived during World War II, and the beaches did the rest. After Hurricane Michael made landfall here in 2018, this county rebuilt tougher than ever.
