Well depth

How deep are wells in Parker School?

Of 73 wells with a recorded total depth, the median is 51 feet. Half were drilled between 35 and 96 feet; one in ten went deeper than 140 feet and one in ten found water shallower than 25 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

13 ft

median depth to water at rest · half between 9 and 21 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

10 gpm

median tested yield · half between 7 and 15 gpm

15% of tested wells produced under 5 gallons per minute and 23% produced 20 or more. These are short completion tests, not sustained-capacity tests; a household typically needs 3 to 5 gpm with storage.
