Water well drilling
New residential and property wells drilled through south Georgia sand and clay into the water-bearing rock below.
Omega is where Superior Well Drilling keeps its office and its equipment, on Highway 319 North. The town grew up around the railroad in the late 1800s, when it was still called Surrey, and today most of it lies in Tift County with a sliver in Colquitt. For a well, that county line matters: the permit and inspection go through the health department of the county the property sits in, not the one on the mailing address.
Under Omega, wells are drilled down through sand and clay to the limestone of the Upper Floridan aquifer. Georgia’s own geologic survey notes that the depth to that limestone can change by tens of feet over a short distance, and that across the southern part of Tift County the limestone can sit much deeper than it does elsewhere in the area. That’s why we don’t quote a well depth off a neighbor’s well. The drill log decides.
Most of the calls we get close to home are the everyday ones: a pump that quit, a tank that’s waterlogged and making the pump chatter, or water that’s turned orange or started to smell. Being minutes away helps on all of them.

Well pump repair & replacement
No water, low pressure, a pump that won’t shut off: our service department diagnoses it and puts it right.

Is Omega in Tift County or Colquitt County for a well permit?
Most of Omega is in Tift County, but the town crosses into Colquitt County. The well permit goes through the county health department where your property actually sits; if you’re not sure, your tax bill or the county’s parcel map will tell you, and we can help you sort it out.
How deep are wells around Omega?
There’s no single number. Wells here are drilled through sand and clay into the Upper Floridan limestone, and the depth to that rock varies from one property to the next, sometimes by tens of feet. We go by the drill log on your property, not a guess.
