Well depth

How deep are wells in ZIP 59411?

Of 159 wells with a recorded total depth, the median is 100 feet. Half were drilled between 68 and 135 feet; one in ten went deeper than 200 feet and one in ten found water shallower than 40 feet. Depth is set by local geology and position on the landscape, both of which change over short distances, so the spread matters as much as the median.

Static water level

26 ft

median depth to water at rest · half between 16 and 42 ft

The static level is how far below ground the water stands before pumping, measured by the driller at completion. It affects pump setting and operating cost, and it moves with season and with neighbouring use.

Well yield

12 gpm

median tested yield · half between 5 and 20 gpm

17% of tested wells produced under 5 gallons per minute and 34% produced 20 or more. These are short completion tests, not sustained-capacity tests; a household typically needs 3 to 5 gpm with storage.

A documented release or site in the area is not evidence that any particular well is affected. Whether a release reaches a well depends on groundwater flow direction, geology, well depth and construction, the extent of the plume and the cleanup performed. The most recent release reported here dates to 1999. A property report screens the sites within a quarter, half and one mile of a specific parcel and links the agency records.
