Well Drillers Near Durand, Wisconsin

A geological estimate for the Durand area.

Detailed Summary

Based on a representative sample of wells in Durand, Wisconsin, the most common subsurface profile consists of a thin topsoil/sand overburden (few feet to ~40 ft), transitioning to a moderately thick sand and gravel layer (extending variably up to 80–123 ft), underlain by extensive, commonly firm to hard, horizontally bedded sandstone (often varicolored: brown, yellow, gray, white) to 120–140+ ft. Some wells drilled deeper encounter coarse or harder sandstones up to 200–360 ft, especially for high-capacity/irrigation wells. Typical residential wells with yields of 5–15+ GPM are screened or open in the upper sandstone, with static water levels between 40–100 ft below ground. Casing is generally set through the overburden and into the upper sandstone, with grout or bentonite sealing to the casing base.
