Detailed Summary

Based on multiple well logs sampled from the West Bend region (including Germantown, Polk, Trenton, and adjacent Ozaukee County), the most consistent shallow stratigraphy consists of an initial surface layer of clay or sandy clay with variable small cobbles and fill, typically extending 10-20 ft deep. This is commonly followed by layers of gravels, bouldery glacial till, or hardpan, often mixed with clay, usually reaching depths between 30-50 ft. Most wells then encounter solid fractured dolomite/limestone, which acts as the primary aquifer and extends to the bottom of sampled well drilling, frequently beyond 200 ft. Water is typically first encountered within the upper bedrock, with static water levels generally reported 10-30 ft below ground surface. Residential wells for 5-15 gpm service typically terminate at 120-180 ft, with higher yields available at greater depths in the bedrock aquifer.
