Well Drillers Near Fall Creek, Wisconsin

A typical residential well in the Fall Creek area is drilled to approximately 105 feet to ensure a reliable water supply of 5-15+ gallons per minute.

The static water level, or water table, is typically found around 70 feet below the surface in this region.

Based on synthesis of the sampled wells, the representative geologic profile of Fall Creek includes: 1) a shallow topsoil or clayey sand/sand/gravel unit averaging up to 6–10 ft, 2) brown/tan medium to coarse sand (may be with clay and/or gravel) to 40–65 ft, 3) a sandstone or sandrock unit, often described as brown, tan, or gray, beginning around 40–65 ft and continuing with interbeds or transitions into firmer/harder sandstone below approximately 90–100 ft, extending at least to 160–168 ft where data ends. The sandstone is the principal aquifer. Groundwater is typically encountered at 18–92 ft, with most static water levels 60–80 ft. The most common residential well construction targets the upper portion of the main sandstone aquifer, generally within 85–115 ft. High-capacity wells target deeper sandstone, beyond 120–150 ft. Mud rotary drilling and neat cement or bentonite grout are standard.
