Detailed Summary

Based on analysis of representative well logs, the geology in the Plover, WI region generally consists of a thick, unconsolidated sand layer extending from the surface to approximately 35-40 feet, sometimes interlayered with thin gravel or fine sand and gravel beds. In certain cases, granite bedrock is encountered at greater depths (54-265 feet), but most residential wells are screened within the upper sand unit. Static water levels are typically between 8-30 feet below ground, and residential wells achieving 5-15+ gpm are commonly completed at total depths of 35-45 feet. High-capacity wells may drill deeper into bedrock, usually granite, for larger yields.
