Well Drillers Near Whitelaw, Wisconsin

A geological estimate for the Whitelaw area.

Detailed Summary

Across representative well construction logs in the Whitelaw and broader Manitowoc region, the prevailing geological profile from ground surface to typical well depth is: a thin surficial layer (topsoil, hardpan, or gravelly sand); a substantial sand layer (sometimes gravelly); a thick clay (often red, blue, or sandy); and then a transition to limestone bedrock, which forms the main water-producing zone. Some variability in clay color/composition and presence of gravel/sand is present, but the most persistent sequence is sand over clay over limestone. Residential wells commonly terminate in or just below the limestone, with high yield (5–15+ GPM) at depths between 100–150 feet. High capacity wells may extend deeper depending on bedrock characteristics.
