Well Drillers Near Ogema, Wisconsin

The typical Ogema-area well penetrates a sequence of clay/clayey till, interbedded sand/gravel, and occasional hardpan, terminating in a productive sand/gravel aquifer. Most residential wells are 40-60 ft deep, with some deeper (80-110 ft) depending on desired yield.

Detailed Summary

Based on a synthesis of well logs from Ogema and adjoining sections, the most representative geologic profile consists of an upper clay or clay-rich till layer extending to approximately 30-35 ft, underlain by mixed sand and gravel—sometimes with intervening hardpan and occasional stony/clayey intervals—extending to about 45-60 ft. Thicker sequences (80-110 ft) show a dominance of glacial till types (hardpan, gravelly clay, dirty gravel/clay) before reliable sand/gravel aquifers are encountered. Productive water-bearing zones are consistently reported in sand and gravel below 40 ft. Most residential wells are cased to 40-60 ft, producing 5-15+ GPM; higher yields can be obtained from deeper wells where thick sand/gravel intervals exist.
