Well Drillers Near New Franken, Wisconsin

A geological estimate for the New Franken area.

Detailed Summary

Based on collected well logs, the most representative geological sequence in the New Franken region begins with a substantial clay or clay/stone layer at the surface (often 20-50+ feet thick), commonly with some sand, gravel, or stones intermixed. Beneath this, a gravel or sandy gravel layer is sometimes observed (roughly 10-30 feet thick, where present). Hardpan or broken limestone may occur as a transition in rare logs, but the dominant and widespread aquifer is limestone/dolomite, starting most commonly between 45 and 60 feet and extending to typical drilled well depths of 100-150+ ft. Deeper high capacity wells may extend far deeper into limestone or reach sandstone below. Static water levels and well tests indicate the limestone/dolomite is the primary residential aquifer, with sufficient yields (5-25+ GPM typical). Anomalous deep shale or sandstone units are rare and omitted from this generalization.
