Well Depth

Some of the things that dictate the depth of the well are:

  • The level that the aquifers are located in the ground.
  • The amount of storage that the well contractor calculates is necessary.
  • The type of soil and the level of activity that the aquifer exhibits.
  • The depth  that the casing is embedding into bedrock (5 to 10 feet, depending on the municipality).
