Edinboro’s Logs Keep a Narrow Range
Much of the Edinboro record sits in a tight band, which makes a new well here easier to plan. Half of the 699 logs finish between 50 and 75 feet, and 499 of them note depth to bedrock. Half of those reached rock between 19 and 39 feet, around a median of 26. The rock mapped under the town is the Venango Formation: siltstone, conglomerate, sandstone and shale of Late Devonian age.
For a homeowner, a narrow range means the nearby logs are a fair guide to how much footage and casing a well will take, and a quote built on them is less likely to move. It still can, since a quarter of wells reached 75 feet or more. The well cost guide covers how extra footage is handled, and residential drilling covers the steps of the job.
What 10 Gallons a Minute Means Near Edinboro
Yields here are moderate and fairly spread. Of 679 logs that record one, the median is 10 gallons per minute; a quarter logged 6 or less and a quarter 20 or more. A well at the median gives a household room to work with, and the pump choice turns on the lift, the size of the house and how steady you want the pressure. Well pumps covers the options, from submersibles to jet and booster pumps.
The bottom quarter is where care pays. A well giving 6 gallons per minute or less needs a pump kept within its yield and a pressure tank that stretches the time between starts. Homes on the Edinboro Water Authority leave all of this to the authority, and the Edinboro treatment page covers its water.
