Open guide →A geological estimate for the Sparta area.
Based on regional well logs, the most common geologic sequence in the Sparta region is a surface sand/gravel, underlain by thick clay or clay with gravel inclusions, with wells generally terminated in a deeper coarse sand or sand/gravel aquifer. Occasional interbedded thin sand or gravel lenses may appear in the clay, and the main water-bearing zone is usually at the base, below ~60-120 ft. Water tables are generally present in the upper clay or just above the aquifer, with static water levels between 16-64 ft below grade. Typical residential wells target the base of clay into the primary sand/gravel aquifer.
