Well Drillers Near Burlington, Wisconsin

A geological estimate for the Burlington area.

Detailed Summary

Based on multiple well logs from Burlington and surrounding rural areas, the most representative geologic sequence is: (1) a surface to ~20 ft clay (sometimes described as yellow, brown, or with gravel), (2) an extensive sand and gravel and/or clayey sand and gravel layer from ~20-60+ ft, (3) hardpan or dense clay/gravel in some logs from 24-43+ ft, (4) deeper, another sand/gravel or sand/gravel/clay mix continuing to 100+ ft, and (5) limestone bedrock encountered in some locations, typically beyond 100 ft. The common residential well targets sand and gravel aquifers between 40 and 100 ft, yielding 10-30+ gpm, with common casing set to near the base of the major sand/gravel aquifer. Static water levels range from 14 to 30 ft below surface. High capacity or deeper wells either extend sand/gravel completion or are finished into limestone below 100 ft.
