Drews and Koeppel Well Drilling
Ringle, WI54471
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.

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.
Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
---|---|---|---|
0 – 33 ft | Clay/Clay Till or Clay & Stones | Dense brown/gray silty clay or clay with stones, sometimes sandy or gravelly at base; significant caving potential in upper part. | Color: Brown/Gray Hardness: Hard to very hard |
33 – 47 ft | Sandy Clay/Hardpan/Occasional Sand & Gravel lenses | Interbedded sandy clay, hardpan, sometimes with dry sand and gravel transitions; low to moderate permeability. | Color: Light brown/gray Hardness: Stiff to hard |
47 – 60 ft | Sand & Gravel | Clean to silty sand and gravel, main aquifer zone; reliable water production. | Color: Grey-yellow Hardness: Loose to medium compact |
60 – 95 ft | Gravel, Dirty Gravel/Clay, Gravelly Hardpan (deeper profile typical for higher capacity wells) | Alternating gravel, gravelly clay, dirty gravel/clay, minor clay/sand beds; variable permeability. | Color: Gray/brown variegated Hardness: Medium to hard |
95 – 110 ft | Coarse Gravel | Coarse, clean gray gravel, highest capacity zone when present. | Color: Gray Hardness: Loose |
