Detailed Summary

Most wells in the Kimball area begin with a thin sand or sandy clay layer (1–10 ft) at the surface, overlain by thick blue/gray/grayish clay, sometimes with interbeds of sand or gravel. Water-bearing zones are typically thin zones of sand, gravel, or occasionally sandstone at depth. Clay is dominant throughout, with water production generally coming from the lowermost unit, just above or in contact with any bedrock encountered. Surficial sand and topsoil are present but not major aquifers. The main producing aquifer, supporting 5–15+ GPM, is generally encountered between 60–135 ft, though deeper bedrock sources exist at 185–191 ft.
