Well Drillers Near Oxford, Wisconsin

A typical residential well in the Oxford area is drilled to approximately 100 feet to ensure a reliable water supply of 5-15+ gallons per minute.

The static water level, or water table, is typically found around 25 feet below the surface in this region.

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.
