Detailed Summary

Based on a synthesis of representative well logs across the Chippewa Falls area, a typical subsurface profile consists of a brown or tan surficial sand (sometimes with gravel and minor silt/clay) layer extending from ground surface to approximately 35-60 feet, underlain by a thick sandstone interval that continues as deep as the sampled data (often exceeding 100 feet). Most residential wells are completed within this sand and gravel or into the upper sandstone, with static water levels commonly between 28-69 feet, and screened/cased depths typically to 40-60 feet for reliable yields. High capacity wells or those in drier uplands may continue deeper into the sandstone with casing to 90-100+ feet. Outlier or thin clay/silt beds are ignored.
