Well Drillers Near Oxford, Wisconsin

A geological estimate for the Oxford area.

Detailed Summary

Based on representative well logs from the Oxford region, the subsurface profile typically consists of: (1) surficial sandy/sandy loam soils, (2) interbedded sand and occasional sandy clay or silt layers, often with some coarse or gravelly intervals, and zones of clay at variable depths, (3) a thick, generally medium to coarse sand or sand-and-gravel aquifer (primary water-producing zone for most residential wells), and (4) underlying sandstone, with some records noting soft/fine sandstone followed by harder or more consolidated bedrock at greater depths. The unconsolidated aquifer (sand/gravel) is usually cased through, with the screen or open bottom set just above or into sandstone. Typical static water levels are shallow; most residential wells achieving 10–30 gpm are completed at ~80–120 feet, while irrigation/high-capacity wells may be 275–320+ feet depending on local demand and geology. Clay intervals may extend locally to 100+ feet but are usually interbedded with water-bearing sand.
