Detailed Summary

Based on a synthesis of multiple well logs from the Auburndale area, the representative geological profile begins with a substantial upper clay (sometimes clay-with-stones or till) unit, often extending from the surface down to approximately 30–60 ft. Below this, there is typically a transition layer that may include sand, sand and clay, sandstone, or highly weathered granite (when present). The dominant bedrock is granite, encountered at depths ranging from about 50–65 ft and extending to the full depth of most wells (commonly 100–240 ft), with occasional wells reporting sandstone instead of granite. The most productive residential wells for 5–15+ GPM generally penetrate into the granite bedrock and are typically completed between 100 and 160 ft. High capacity municipal or irrigation wells may use the full granite thickness to 200–240 ft as observed in several logs.
