Detailed Summary

Analysis of well logs for the Kaleva region indicates a representative geological profile characterized by an upper sequence of sands (often fine, sometimes grading to coarse or containing gravel), interbedded with clay and clayey sand. The most frequent lower aquifers are found as thick sand or sand/gravel beds, typically encountered between 50 and 130 feet deep, occasionally deeper. Shallower wells (20–50 ft) can suffice where thick sand predominates at shallow depths, but most residential wells are completed between 60 and 130 ft to ensure sufficient yield and protection from surface contamination. Outliers with extreme depths or unusually thick clay were discarded from the average profile.
