Well Drillers Near Luck, Wisconsin

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.

Detailed Summary

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.
