Detailed Summary

Averaging across representative wells from Oxford and adjacent townships, the predominant sequence is initial layers of clay (some with sand or gravel) in the upper 15-30 feet, followed by alternating units of sand & gravel, clay with gravel, and sand & clay mixtures. The most consistent water-bearing zone is a gravel or sand & gravel interval beginning near 70-80 ft, commonly persisting to the bottom of the well (typically 125-135 ft in Oxford). Occasional thicker clay (to 100+ ft) occurs but is less typical. Residential wells are usually completed between 75-135 ft with static water levels of 20-95 ft below grade and yields of 10-30 GPM.
