Well Drillers Near Dousman, Wisconsin

A geological estimate for the Dousman area.

Detailed Summary

A synthesis of well logs from Dousman and surrounding areas indicates a representative subsurface profile begins with sandy, gravelly glacial deposits, often mixed with clay and occasional hardpan, spanning approximately the first 20 to 80 feet. This is occasionally underlain by additional sandy or silty clay, gravel, or hardpan layers extending to about 120–190 feet, depending on the local topography and glacial history. Most wells then encounter competent limestone (dolomite), which serves as the primary regional aquifer and is often the main water-bearing formation. In rare cases (especially for deeper/higher capacity wells), underlying shale may be encountered below the limestone. Static water levels are most commonly found between 10 and 80 feet below surface. Standard construction involves rotary drilling with steel casing set through the unconsolidated materials and into the upper bedrock, and grout (cement or bentonite) sealing to at least the base of the casing.
