Well Drillers Near Suamico, Wisconsin

A geological estimate for the Suamico area.

Detailed Summary

Across sampled well logs for the Suamico region, the most consistent shallow sequence is a surficial sandy layer (sometimes gravelly), followed by a significant thickness of clay (occasionally with stones or interbedded sand/gravel). Next is a zone of hardpan or gravelly clay at the base of the unconsolidated section. The upper bedrock is virtually always limestone or dolomite, frequently extending for many tens or hundreds of feet. Where deeper wells are drilled, a shale (limey or mixed) zone is sometimes reported above or interbedded with the limestone, and the deepest sections may reach sandstone. Static water levels and test yields indicate that most residential wells achieve 5-15+ GPM at ~100-130 ft (typically in the upper limestone). High-capacity wells or those seeking maximum aquifer thickness commonly extend 200-300+ ft, often still in limestone, occasionally reaching sandstone.
