Recommended Method
The representative subsurface profile, integrating well logs from the Walkerville region and nearby townships, is characterized by surficial sand and silt, followed by clay-rich zones often interbedded with gravel or sand. Water-bearing formations are most commonly persistent sand or sand/gravel layers lying at moderate to significant depths (usually below major clay sequences). Most residential wells are completed between 60–110 feet, with high-capacity or irrigation wells sometimes much shallower if extensive silt/sand units are present. Bentonite grout and PVC or steel casing are standard. The rotary mud circulation is the most common drilling method.
