depth = 56.5 inches below the surface. Installed September 18, 2001. ELEVATION.-- Surface is 165 ft above sea level, from topographic map
(National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929). SOIL TYPE.--Woodbridge Series - moderately well drained soil formed in

based on soil morphology for this site is 24 inches below the surface based on
soil morphology. GEOLOGY.-- Lodgement till, mixed minerology. WELL OBSERVATIONS.--Highest recorded watertable - 3 inches below the surface. Notes: WT_Depth is the measured depth (inches) to water below the ground
surface. Ground surface datum for these readings is 0, to determine the actual
depth to water below the surface elevation subtract the depth in the table
from 165 feet. The 56.5 inch depth is the total
depth of the well.
