Detailed Summary

Based on well logs from Mequon and nearby areas, the representative subsurface profile begins with approximately 60–90 feet of clay (sometimes with sand and gravel), followed in some locations by a thin zone of gravel, sandy clay, or hardpan. Underlying this, limestone bedrock is typically encountered between 60 to 135 feet and extends to total drilled depths ranging from about 100 to 180 feet for most residential wells, though deeper production wells may exceed 300 feet. Static water level measurements are most commonly between 50 and 130 feet. Most residential wells with yields of 5–15+ GPM are completed between 100–140 feet. Rotary drilling with mud circulation is the typical method, and casing is set into the upper bedrock.
