Detailed Summary

Analysis of New Lisbon well logs shows a consistent sequence: upper layers consist of fine to coarse sand, sometimes divided into fine/medium/coarse intervals, with clay or sandy clay appearing in some locations near the surface. Beneath the sand, a sand and gravel interval may occur. The dominant deeper formation is sandstone, which starts at about 27-65 ft and continues as deep as logs extend (up to 175 ft in some cases). The water table (static water level) is typically shallow (7-25 ft below ground surface). Residential wells that yield 5-18+ GPM are commonly completed at depths between 45 and 63 ft, usually ending in coarse sand or sandstone. High-capacity municipal or test wells may extend deeper into sandstone (100 ft or more). Caving is not a persistent issue; nearly all wells use rotary drilling with mud circulation.
