Detailed Summary

A representative geological profile for Casco is dominated by thick layers of clay (usually yellow or blue), often interbedded with hardpan and minor silty or sandy zones. Significant, water-bearing gravel and sand aquifers are most commonly encountered below 100 feet, frequently as the deepest permeable layer. Most residential wells are drilled to depths between 90 and 130 feet to reliably access these deeper aquifers, with average household yields of 5-15+ GPM. The static water table is typically found at 20-40 feet below grade. The most common drilling method is rotary with mud circulation; PVC casing is prevalent. Grouting with bentonite slurry is standard to at least casing depth. The generalized sequence below averages depths and thicknesses from multiple logs, filtering out localized anomalies and anomalies.
