Brussels, WI54204
Typical Brussels-area wells penetrate a surface layer of clay (often with some gravel or sand), underlain by a thick limestone/dolomite bedrock sequence, with occasional thin gravel or hardpan zones. Bedrock aquifers are the primary groundwater source.

Typical Well Depth
Static Water Level
Recommended Method
Based on well logs from the Brussels region and immediate surrounds, the most representative geologic sequence is a surface layer of clay (commonly 10–80 ft thick, sometimes with sand or gravel), possibly with discrete gravel/hardpan intervals. This is consistently underlain by massive limestone or dolomite that extends through the bottom of typical residential and public wells, at least down to ~310 ft where logs terminate. Static water levels average between 15 and 80 ft below grade, with most wells drawing from 150–310 ft depths. A typical residential well (5–15+ GPM) is screened or open in the limestone at ~180–250 ft, with higher capacity wells reaching ~300+ ft. Shale or other minor beds are rarely encountered and do not warrant representation in the averaged model.
Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
---|---|---|---|
0 – 10 ft | Topsoil/Clay/Gravel | Red to brown clay, locally with sand, gravel, or stones; non-caving in most areas. | Color: Brown/Red Hardness: Soft to Firm |
10 – 80 ft | Clay/Gravel/Hardpan (Variable) | Firm clay, zones of gravel or occasional hardpan; color mottled brown/gray; minor local sand. | Color: Brown/Gray Hardness: Firm to Hard |
80 – 120 ft | Transition Clay/Hardpan (occasional) | Clay with occasional hardpan or boulders; not always present, but common in deeper overburden. | Color: Gray/Brown Hardness: Firm |
80 – 310 ft | Limestone/Dolomite Bedrock | White to light gray, hard, crystalline limestone or dolomite. Primary aquifer for water supply. | Color: White/Gray Hardness: Hard |
