Well Drillers Near Crivitz, Wisconsin

A geological estimate for the Crivitz area.

Detailed Summary

Most wells in Crivitz encounter a surface layer of sand or sandy gravel, commonly continuing down to 40–60 ft. Sporadic layers of clay, hard-packed gravel/boulders, and occasional cobbles are present in some locations. In roughly half of the area, a sandstone layer appears at depths between 60 and 122 ft, while in other places this is replaced by granite encountered at similar depths. Typical well casing is set to just above the first consolidated rock or to the screen interval within coarse sediments. The most common aquifer for residential supply is the coarse sand or gravel in the 40–80 ft range, sometimes extending into shallow sandstone or granite, supporting yields from 6–25+ GPM. Static water levels are usually 10–40 ft below grade.
