Well Drillers Near Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin

A geological estimate for the Sheboygan Falls area.

Detailed Summary

The representative geological cross-section for Sheboygan Falls area wells (based on multiple sampled logs) shows a sequence starting at the surface with clay (often mottled with red/gray colors), locally mixed with lenses of sand or gravel. The upper glacial sediments typically reach depths of 50–90 ft, and may include thin sandy/gravelly zones or isolated stoney layers. Casing is generally set to the top of competent limestone or dolomite bedrock (60–90 ft). The underlying bedrock aquifer—dominantly dolomite or limestone—extends well below the bottom of the cased interval, often comprising the majority of the final well depth (to 150–350+ ft). Most residential wells are completed by drilling into this bedrock; yields are commonly in the 10–30 GPM range with static water levels around 10–55 ft below ground surface. Drilling is by rotary with mud circulation, with cement/bentonite sealing to casing depth. Anomalous thick clay or sand zones above bedrock may reflect local variations but do not affect the general model.
