Detailed Summary

In Burton, the most representative geological profile starts with clay and clay-with-gravel layers to about 120 feet, occasionally interbedded with thin sand or sand/gravel seams. Around 120-130 feet, drilling transitions to bedrock, typically a sequence of blue shale followed by gray sandstone. Sandstone dominates the lowest part of typical well bores. Most residential wells in the area are completed between 180 and 215 feet to reliably yield 10-15+ GPM, with high capacity sites tested at higher GPM rates. Static water levels are usually 30-35 feet below grade. Most wells are constructed via rotary mud circulation with grout down to the end of casing (usually 120-130 feet).
