Detailed Summary

Based on a synthesis of representative well logs from around Weyauwega and surrounding Waupaca County, the most common subsurface sequence consists of a surface layer of clay (occasionally red or mixed with gravel) to around 70-110 feet, commonly interbedded with thinner lenses of gravel or stones in the upper profile. This is followed by a significant sequence (typically extending to 140-180 feet or deeper) of sand, gravel, or sand and gravel mixtures—often with variable coarseness (fine to coarse sand). Occasional silty sand and some transitions from sand to gravel are common near the bottom of the main aquifer zone. The total depths for residential wells that provide sustained 5-20 GPM typically range between 80 and 180 feet, with high-capacity and monitoring wells reaching depths of over 150-330+ feet in some cases. The static water level is typically encountered between 10 and 40 feet below ground surface. Casing is generally set through the clay and part or all of the sand/gravel layer to prevent caving, and completed wells use rotary mud circulation as the drilling method. Cement or bentonite grout is used to seal the annulus above the screen.
