CRAWFORD COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA · 55 MIN FROM OUR GREENVILLE OFFICE
Around Conneautville, a quarter of 423 logged yields came in at 5 gallons per minute or less, against a median of 10. Depth is the smaller question, with the area 14th of 16 Crawford County towns by median well depth. So the pump, the pressure tank and the way they are sized need the most thought here.

WHAT WE DO IN CONNEAUTVILLE
Whether you’re on a private well or city water, the same crew handles the water source, the pressure, and what comes out of the tap.
The Conneautville Borough Water Department lists sequestration for iron and manganese, plus chlorine for disinfection. On a private well nearby, the same two metals are worth testing for, and a water test shows whether a FerronX Iron System is needed.
Short wells are the norm here: half the 453 depth logs fall between 51 and 90 feet. Chatfield drills by cable tool or air rotary, whichever the ground calls for, with PA DEP permit assistance.
A median yield of 10 gallons per minute, and 5 or less in a quarter of logs, means the pump is matched to the well rather than the other way round. A larger pressure tank then helps through busy moments by holding more water under pressure.

Of 423 logs with a yield, the median is 10 gallons per minute, with a quarter at 5 or less and a quarter at 20 or more. A well at the low end can still supply a house if the system is built for it: the flow test first, then the pump, then the tank.
An oversized pump pulls water faster than the rock refills the well and can run it dry. Sized to the flow test, a submersible pump works within what the rock supplies, and a larger pressure tank helps cover a shower and a washer running together. If an older setup short-cycles or loses pressure, pump repair and diagnostics find which part is at fault.
The borough water department serves a population of 850 through 370 connections, drawing groundwater from two active wells, Well #2 and Well #3, with a single treatment plant on the record. EPA lists three steps: sequestration for iron and manganese, chlorine added after treatment, and 4-log virus treatment, which leaves next to no viruses alive. It lists no lead rounds for the system, so a test at your own tap is the check, with reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink the usual answer if lead turns up.
Under the town center, the map shows the Chadakoin Formation, Late Devonian siltstone, shale and sandstone. A well’s own log records what that hole met. Crawford County water treatment covers what the county’s USGS well samples found.
WATER IN CRAWFORD COUNTY
In USGS samples from across Crawford County, taken 1928–2023, 77% of wells were hard or very hard, 35% carried iron above the staining line, 45% had manganese above 0.05 mg/L. The full record, and what it means for treatment, is on the Crawford County page; your own well gets its own test.
WHY CONNEAUTVILLE CHOOSES CHATFIELD
Rated 4.7 on Google across 104 reviews. Here is what working with us looks like, in a customer’s words.
“We bought a new home November 1st, 2024 and low and behold it had a collapsed well. After several quotes, we chose Chatfield drilling, and we’re glad we did! Matt & his team arrived quickly to assess the situation, and formulate a plan to get the H2O flowing again. Even through the holidays, they did not waiver. Eric their driller worked hard in the brutal NE Ohio cold to pound a well for us. We are beyond pleased, and have fantastic water!”

A LITTLE CLARITY
Our Greenville office (854 Mercer Rd., Greenville, PA 16125) is about 55 minutes and 33 miles by road from Conneautville. Service calls for Conneautville are scheduled from there.
Conneautville and the municipalities around it: Summerhill Township, Springboro, Spring Township, Conneaut Township, Beaver Township, Summit Township, Linesville, Cussewago Township, Albion, Pine Township. Beyond those, the rest of the 16 Crawford County communities on our service map, from the same office.
Pennsylvania’s groundwater database (PaGWIS) lists 453 domestic wells within 5 miles of Conneautville: the median is 68 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 51 and 90 feet. The median well was logged at 10 gallons per minute. Drillers reached bedrock at a median of 25 feet. Your own well's depth depends on the ground under your lot.
Ask for a well inspection with a flow test, and set the result against the area: of 423 logged yields, the median is 10 gallons per minute and a quarter came in at 5 or less. Add a water test for iron, manganese and hardness. Together they show whether the pump, tank and any treatment suit the house.
Because fewer logs record it. Of the 453 depth logs around Conneautville, only 171 note where rock began, so the median of 25 feet rests on a smaller base than the depth figures do. Treat it as a rough guide: casing usually runs down to rock on your lot, wherever the rig finds it, and a quarter of those 171 logs found rock at 45 feet or more.
