A representative geologic profile for Harrisville, based on well log synthesis, shows an upper unconsolidated sand or sand/clay interval, commonly 15–20 ft thick, followed by variable sand or sand-clay interbeds. A regional clay layer, around 20–50+ ft thick, typically underlies the sand and is then succeeded by a lower water-bearing sand or sandy zone. Some logs note deeper consolidated water-bearing material below this second sand. Most wells draw from the lower water-bearing sand at depths of 60–90 ft. Static water levels vary, usually 15–50+ ft below grade. This profile is well-suited for domestic production of 10–20 GPM at typical finished depths of 70–90 ft.
Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
---|---|---|---|
0 – 8 ft | Sand / Sand & Clay | Mostly unconsolidated fine-medium sand, occasional clay or minor gravel. | Color: Tan to light brown Hardness: Loose |
8 – 23 ft | Sand & Clay (Interbedded) | Alternating layers of sand and clay or silty sand. | Color: Tan, brown, grey Hardness: Soft to medium |
23 – 71 ft | Clay (regional, some thin sand/silt partings) | Dense clay, may have minor silty or sandy layers; acts as aquitard. | Color: Brown to grey Hardness: Stiff |
71 – 90 ft | Sand (Water Bearing) | Medium-coarse sand, major aquifer for wells; highly permeable and productive. | Color: Light brown to grey Hardness: Loose to medium |
