Detailed Summary

A representative geology profile for the Columbus region, based on synthesis of several recent well logs, reveals the uppermost layer is usually a thin soil/sand interval, followed by thick sequences of yellow/gray/blue clay or clay-mixed with sand and gravel. Persistent, productive water-bearing aquifers are typically found in lower sand/gravel zones below 70-120 feet, with the base of logs sometimes reaching into consolidated bedrock (sandstone/shale) below 110-130 feet. Wells are typically cased with 4-5 inch PVC or steel to 100-120 feet, grouted with bentonite or cement, and completed in water-bearing sand/gravel zones. Typical static water levels range 10-40 feet below grade. A standard residential (5-15+ GPM) well is commonly completed between 90 and 130 feet. High-capacity wells may be deeper, but household supply is reliably found before 130-145 feet.
