Well Drillers Near Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

A geological estimate for the Sturgeon Bay area.

Detailed Summary

Based on a synthesis of representative well logs from across the Sturgeon Bay region, the generalized geological sequence is: a thin surficial layer of clay, sand, or gravel (typically less than 10-20 feet thick), directly overlying a thick sequence of limestone/dolomite bedrock that extends to total drilling depths (commonly >200 ft). Some wells note minor hardpan, shale, or deeper clay interbeds just above or interbedded within the limestone, but these are not dominant. Most wells are cased through the unconsolidated layer and into the upper limestone. Static water levels vary but are commonly within 10-30 feet of the surface. Residential wells (5-15+ GPM yield) are typically completed to roughly 225-240 feet; high-capacity estimates are similar, as nearly all wells remain in the limestone aquifer.
