Well Drillers Near Conover, Wisconsin

Typical wells in the Conover region penetrate an upper sand/gravel unit, often with variable silty or clayey interbeds, grading into and underlain by finer sands or silts and occasional clay lenses, with screened wells typically ending within coarse sand or sand/gravel aquifers at ~60–80 feet.

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.
