Well Drillers Near Oconomowoc, Wisconsin

Typical Oconomowoc-area wells encounter a surficial layer of clay or stony clay, followed by thick sand/gravel, locally interbedded with some clay, and frequently transition into limestone or dolomite bedrock at depths greater than ~110-130 ft.

Detailed Summary

The representative geologic profile for Oconomowoc and the surrounding area, based on sampled well logs, generally consists of about 0-10 feet of clayey or stony material overlying a substantial sand and gravel aquifer (often with intermittent silt or clay layers) extending from around 10 feet to ~110-130 feet. In deeper and southern/western locations, a clay or clay-with-gravel layer may occur from about 40 feet to 125 feet. Below these unconsolidated sediments, limestone (or dolomite) bedrock is consistently encountered, serving as an alternate aquifer, especially for higher capacity or deeper wells. The static water level most commonly ranges from 13 to 35 feet below ground. Residential wells typically end within the deep sand/gravel or just at the top of bedrock, usually between 50 and 125 ft deep to reliably yield 5-15+ gallons per minute.
