Kirk-Hischer Well Drilling
Luck, WI54853
The representative geology for Luck, WI and vicinity is a thick unconsolidated sand and gravel aquifer, locally interbedded with some clay and silt, generally extending to about 60-70 feet. In some areas, clay/rock lenses or underlying sandstone/bedrock are present below the main aquifer. Most residential wells target the base of the sand/gravel, with water levels typically between 25 and 45 feet below ground.

Recommended Method
Based on synthesis of multiple well logs from the Luck area, the typical geological sequence starts with a thin organic/topsoil layer, followed by a sand and gravel aquifer (sometimes with silt or clay layers), and often capped at depth by occasional clay, sandrock, or rarely, trap rock or fractured bedrock. Usable aquifer thickness averages 60-70 feet, providing high yielding wells (5-20 gpm) for most properties. Static water levels are consistently between 12 and 45 feet. Most wells are finished in the basal sand/gravel above clay or rock, with screened or open-bottom completions. Drilling is almost universally rotary with mud circulation. Typical casing extends to near the base of the unconsolidated aquifer.
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 2 ft | Topsoil/Overburden | Thin topsoil or organic fine layer, often brown/black. | Color: Brown/black Hardness: Soft |
| 2 – 25 ft | Sand & Gravel (with minor clay/silt zones) | Mixed coarse to fine, typically water-bearing; may include some caving silt or silty sand in upper part. Local thin clay lenses possible. | Color: Brown/tan Hardness: Soft/Loose |
| 25 – 60 ft | Coarse Sand & Gravel | Very permeable, main aquifer, may locally include thin clay, stones, or silt interbeds. | Color: Brown to gray Hardness: Loose/Medium |
| 60 – 70 ft | Gravel or transition to clay/rock/sandstone | Basal gravel, sometimes with hard zones; in some wells transition to clay, sandrock, or rarely trap rock/bedrock below. | Color: Grey/tan/green Hardness: Harder/firm |
