Detailed Summary
Brighton wells generally encounter a sequence beginning with clay, clay mixed with sand and gravel, followed by significant sand and gravel aquifers, and in deeper wells, bedrock such as sandstone, shale, or limestone. Water-bearing zones are consistently reported in the deeper glacial sands/gravels or upper bedrock (typically sandstone or shale). Most residential wells yield 10–20+ GPM at depths between 70 and 140 ft. Static water levels typically range from 20 to 50 ft below ground. Construction is usually with PVC casing, rotary drilling with bentonite grouting, and a screened interval at the main aquifer or open-hole in bedrock, with filter pack commonly present in sand/gravel aquifers.
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 10 ft | Clay or Topsoil | Brown or yellow clay (sometimes sandy or with gravel); topsoil in some locations. | Color: Brown/Yellow Hardness: Soft |
| 10 – 30 ft | Clay/Gravel/Sand Mix | Clay with gravel and/or sand, occasional hardpan zones. | Color: Brown/Yellow Hardness: Medium |
| 30 – 60 ft | Sand & Gravel (Glacial Outwash) | Water-bearing sand and gravel, sometimes with clay partings; main upper aquifer in glacial drift. | Color: Gray/Brown/Yellow Hardness: Loose/Medium |
| 60 – 80 ft | Clay or Hardpan (Occasional) | Dense clay or hardpan, sometimes interbedded with fine sand. | Color: Gray/Blue Hardness: Hard |
| 80 – 110 ft | Sand & Gravel (Deep Aquifer) | Fine to medium sand with gravel, often saturated and water-bearing; high-yield zones are common here. | Color: Gray/Brown Hardness: Loose |
| 110 – 160 ft | Bedrock (Sandstone/Shale/Limestone) | Consolidated bedrock, primarily sandstone, with minor shale or limestone; wells may be open-hole in this interval; some water production possible. | Color: Gray/Light gray Hardness: Hard |
