Detailed Summary

A representative geologic profile for the Hartland region (Waukesha County, WI), derived from a synthesis of well logs, typically consists of a surficial clay or clay with silt or fill (occasionally absent), transitioning to thick sand and gravel intervals, sometimes with interbedded clay lenses. At moderate depths, gravel may become coarser or richer in stones or cobbles. Bedrock is most commonly encountered as limestone (sometimes interbedded with shale) and extends to the deepest logged intervals. Shallower wells for residential use generally draw from sand/gravel or shallow limestone, while high-capacity wells are finished deeper in the limestone. Most wells use rotary-mud drilling with moderate-length steel casing. Static water levels are typically shallowest in unconsolidated zones and deeper with greater total well depth.
