Well Drillers Near Conover, Wisconsin

A geological estimate for the Conover area.

Detailed Summary

A synthesis of well logs from Conover and adjacent areas shows a fairly consistent profile dominated by unconsolidated glacial and alluvial materials. Most wells begin with a surficial sand and gravel layer (commonly caving) extending from surface to about 30–35 feet. Beneath this, alternating bands of silty sand, clay, and clay-stained sand are frequent, with some variability between sites but generally persisting through about 60–70 feet. Many wells transition to a clean sand or water-bearing sand/gravel zone at ~60–80 feet, which is the preferred aquifer for well screens. The majority of residential wells are completed at 35–80 feet, with 15–20 GPM yields typical, and static water levels ranging from 4 to 30 feet below grade. Drilling is almost uniformly by Rotary - Mud Circulation. Most common casing ranges from ~30 to ~77 feet, with screens set at the base of the sand/gravel aquifer. Grout is usually bentonite (granular or slurry form) applied over the upper 8–15 feet.
