Detailed Summary

Based on representative well logs from the East Troy region, the typical geological profile consists of an upper clay or sandy clay layer overlying alternating sequences of sand (occasionally silty) and sand & gravel, with some wells documenting deeper hardpan, limestone, or shale where drilling exceeded 100-150 feet. Most residential wells are finished above bedrock, often in a sand or sand & gravel aquifer between 40 and 130 feet below grade, yielding abundant water for domestic use (commonly 10-30 gpm static water capacity). Average static water level ranges from 10 to 50+ feet below surface. Drilling is most often by rotary - mud circulation. Casing and grout practices are uniform: steel casing to near well bottom and bentonite or cement grout from surface to below casing shoe.
