We get asked this question quite often. In most of Northeastern Ohio, the main criteria for a wells location is the regulations set forth by the state and local Health Departments. A potable water well has to be certain distances from potential sources of contamination i.e. septic systems. Along with the regulations, we look for things such as ease of access.
You do not want to drill the well in a location that will be hard to service in the future. Water wells are constantly changing and eventually need to be worked on i.e. pump replacement or well cleaning. Northeastern Ohio has an abundance of natural resources; fresh groundwater being one of them. In most cases, it is not so much the geophysical location as it is the geological formations, depth, that we are looking for.

There are many different types of aquifers in Ohio; i.e. sand & gravel, Shale, Sandstone. An Aquifer is an under-ground water bearing formation consisting of permeable rock. In order to access the water in the aquifer, a water well must be drilled. The location of the well will determine which aquifer will yeild the most efficient amount of water as well as how the well is constructed.
In order to use water from a water well, it needs to be pumped out. Once the water is pumped out it needs to be stored. The job of the storage/ pressure tank is to deliver water under pressure while the pump is off. Submersibles pumps are placed in the water well with controls and storage tanks in basements and well pits.
Groundwater naturally carries a wide variety of minerals such as Iron, Manganese, Calcium, Acid, and sometimes natural gas. These minerals can cause unsightly stains in your fixtures, bad taste and odors as well as bacteria. All water is treatable; including city water!
