Detailed Summary

A representative geological profile for the Milltown region, based on a synthesis of multiple well logs, generally shows a surface layer of topsoil or thin organic deposits, underlain by extensive sand and gravel (often with minor clay or hardpan interbeds), sometimes transitioning into clay layers. Below 60–80 ft, wells most commonly encounter sandstone (sandy rock or sandrock) and in some cases a deeper traprock or basaltic formation extending to the bottom of well borings. Water is generally encountered at moderate depths within the sand/gravel or upper sandstone, yielding adequate supply for residential wells at moderate depths.
