Detailed Summary

Based on synthesis of multiple well logs in the Rudyard region, the most common subsurface profile is thick clay or clayey till (often 90-150 ft), sometimes interbedded with thin sand seams, transitioning to fine and coarse sand layers (with possible gravel) at depth. Water is primarily sourced from these lower sand/gravel aquifers, occasionally above shallow limestone bedrock in some wells. Typical static water levels are moderate to deep (8-70 ft b.g.), supporting 10-15 GPM residential supplies at depths of 120-150 ft. Casing is usually set through the clay and sand, with wells grouted to approximately sand layer depth.
