Detailed Summary
The most representative geological profile for the Highland area consists of a surficial brown/yellow sand or sand with gravel, underlain by alternating layers of clay (gray, blue, or sometimes with stones/silt), and again by water-bearing sand or sand/gravel at depth. Clay layers commonly separate upper and lower sand/gravel zones. Most wells encounter the main water-bearing, high-yield (often 10–20 GPM+) sand or sand/gravel formation beneath 60–100 ft. Residential wells typically target these deeper aquifers, avoiding locally thin surficial sands. A typical residential well depth ranges from 70 to 120 ft, with high-capacity (municipal/irrigation) wells potentially going to 120—180 ft+ if needed by local hydrogeology. The static water level is variable but often between 20 and 65 ft below grade, occasionally artesian.
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 6 ft | Sand (Brown/Yellow, locally with gravel) | Loose fine sand or sand/gravel mix near the surface | Color: Brown/Yellow Hardness: Loose |
| 6 – 15 ft | Clay (Brown/Yellow/Blue) | Plastic to firm clay, locally sandy, may contain some silt | Color: Brown/Yellow/Blue Hardness: Firm to plastic |
| 15 – 40 ft | Sand (Brown/Gray, fine to medium) | Sand, typically increasing in moisture with depth | Color: Brown/Gray Hardness: Loose to medium |
| 40 – 70 ft | Clay (Gray/Blue/Gray with stones/silt) | Stiff blue/gray clay, can be interbedded with silty or sandy streaks. Occasional stones. | Color: Gray/Blue Hardness: Stiff |
| 70 – 100 ft | Sand/Gravel (Gray, water-bearing) | Main aquifer zone: clean sand, sometimes with gravel, high permeability | Color: Gray Hardness: Loose |
| 100 – 120 ft | Sand/Gravel (Gray, water-bearing or transitions to clay) | Deeper permeable sand/gravel, often targeted for high-capacity wells, may grade into clay at depth | Color: Gray Hardness: Loose |
| 120 – 140 ft | Clay/Silt (Gray/Blue; typically less consistent, localized) | Deeper clay/silt (not always present in residential wells, but occurs in deeper holes) | Color: Gray/Blue Hardness: Stiff |
| 140 – 180 ft | Sand (Fine to coarse, rarely with gravel) | Deep, clean sand, yields variable depending on local setting | Color: Yellow/Gray Hardness: Loose |
