Well Drillers Near New Franken, Wisconsin

A typical residential well in the New Franken area is drilled to approximately 120 feet to ensure a reliable water supply of 5-15+ gallons per minute.

The static water level, or water table, is typically found around 32 feet below the surface in this region.

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.
