Well Drillers Near Strum, Wisconsin

A typical residential well in the Strum area is drilled to approximately 110 feet to ensure a reliable water supply of 5-15+ gallons per minute.

The static water level, or water table, is typically found around 80 feet below the surface in this region.

Based on the synthesis of several well logs in the Strum region (western Wisconsin, Trempealeau/Eau Claire counties), the typical well encounters a very thin topsoil or clay layer (<1–12 ft), followed by sequences of brown sand, fine/medium sand, and sometimes gravel to about 40–80 ft deep. Most commonly, this transitions to brown/gray/green sandstone, ranging from 40 to over 200 ft. In certain locations, an intermediate shale or claystone zone is present. Deeper wells (>100 ft) commonly penetrate firm to hard sandstone of varying color (brown, green, gray) with occasional shale. Static water levels and common yield (5–15+ gpm) indicate that residential wells can typically be completed in the upper to middle sandstone units. High-capacity wells often extend deeper within these consolidated sandstones.
