Detailed Summary

Geological logs across Crystal and surrounding areas show a consistent pattern: surface to ~15–20 ft is dominated by clay or clayey sands, sometimes with minor loam. Below this, sequences of mixed gravels, sandy clays, and fine-to-medium sand typically occur down to around 40–60 ft. The main water-bearing formations are persistent sand or sand/gravel units found from ~50 to 80 ft, sometimes interbedded with gravelly clay or silt. Deeper units (if drilled) are more often thick gray or tan clays, with occasional thin sand/gravel seams. Residential well completions typically target the sand/gravel between 55 and 85 ft for 5–15+ GPM.
