Detailed Summary

Based on compiled logs from multiple sampled wells around Waupun, the most typical subsurface profile begins with a surficial layer of glacial material (mainly clay, frequently mixed with gravel and sometimes minor sand or boulders), transitioning sharply to a thick sequence of limestone or dolomite bedrock. Some wells encounter thin shale interbeds within the carbonate interval. At deeper locations, the carbonate bedrock gives way to sandstone, which can form a significant lower aquifer. Well construction is rotary with mud circulation, using steel casing generally set to the base of unconsolidated material. Typical residential wells are completed in the upper carbonate aquifer, with deeper completions necessary for higher yields or high-capacity needs.
