Well Drillers Near Cameron, Wisconsin

Cameron area wells most commonly penetrate thick surficial sand and gravel with intervals of clay, underlain by sandstone at greater depths. Shallow to moderately deep sand/gravel aquifers provide typical residential well yields.

Detailed Summary

Based on a synthesis of representative well logs, the typical geological sequence in the Cameron, WI region is characterized by a thick sand and gravel aquifer (often slightly silty or with interbedded clay layers), beginning immediately beneath a thin soil horizon. This permeable zone typically extends from just below surface to between approximately 38 and 136 feet deep, sometimes with multiple gradational (clean to dirty/fine or with clay) sand intervals. In wells drilled deeper than ~100-140 feet, the basal unit is consistently sandstone, which is hard to very hard and serves as an important secondary aquifer. Most residential wells are completed within the unconsolidated sand and gravel, while higher capacity and deeper wells are finished in sandstone. Static water levels are generally shallow (14-65 ft), confirming reliable aquifer recharge and productivity (output 8-20+ GPM common).
