Detailed Summary
Based on a representative sample of well logs, the Caledonia region is characterized by surficial sand or sand/gravel, transitioning into extensive clay (including red and blue/gray clays) that can be interbedded with silt, sand, and gravel. The most common and significant aquifer is encountered in sand or gravel below 90-100 ft, often beneath a thick clay confining layer. Typical completed residential wells are 110-130 ft deep and produce 10-18 GPM, with static water levels ranging from 25-80 ft below grade. High-capacity wells, or those seeking more secure yield, are often drilled to 180-240 ft. The standard well construction includes 4-5 inch PVC or steel casing, grouted with bentonite, and a screen set in the lower sand/gravel aquifer.
