LAWRENCE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA · 63 MIN FROM OUR CORTLAND OFFICE
Around Enon Valley the yield, more than the depth, is what to plan around. Half of the 658 logs that record one show 13 gallons a minute or less, and a quarter 8 or less, while the town sits seventh of nine Lawrence County towns by median depth.

WHAT WE DO IN ENON VALLEY
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.
Hardness tops the county’s USGS record, so it is worth checking early on an Enon Valley well. A water test shows whether a LuxSoft softener is needed, and whether iron calls for a FerronX Iron System ahead of it.
The 480 logs that note bedrock put it at a median 32 feet, and past 53 on a quarter of them. Casing usually runs down to rock, so lots in that deeper quarter take noticeably more of it before the bore is in rock.
With a median 13 gallons a minute and a lower quarter of 8, a submersible matched to the well’s refill rate and a well-sized pressure tank handle most homes; the weakest wells do better with storage and a booster pump.

PaGWIS records

The Allegheny Formation is mapped at the town center: Pennsylvanian beds of sandstone, shale, limestone, clay and coal. Layered rock like this rarely yields evenly. Water comes from the fractures and more open beds a bore happens to cross, and the local logs show a wide range: a quarter of the 658 yield records are 8 gallons a minute or less, and a quarter 20 or more.
Depth has a similar spread. A quarter of the 689 depth logs finished by 77 feet and a quarter went past 184. That range, more than the median, is the one to budget around, and the cost page shows what depth and casing do to the price. Residential well drilling covers the air rotary and cable tool work.
The county’s USGS samples, 29 wells for hardness, put the median at 12.3 grains per gallon, and 86% were hard or very hard. That is a county figure that can’t speak for any one well, yet it puts hardness high on the list to check. Scale on fixtures, spotty dishes and a water heater that loses efficiency are the usual signs of hard water.
A water test, on site or through a certified lab, gives your well’s own hardness and iron. The same samples put iron above the 0.3 mg/L line in 79% of wells. If both are high, iron removal usually goes ahead of the softener to protect it, and the LuxSoft water softener is matched to the hardness your test shows.
WATER IN LAWRENCE COUNTY
In USGS samples from across Lawrence County, taken 1928–2023, 86% of wells were hard or very hard, 79% carried iron above the staining line, 58% had manganese above 0.05 mg/L. The full record, and what it means for treatment, is on the Lawrence County page; your own well gets its own test.

“I had the pleasure of having Sam and Hunter for the installation of my new water softener, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The system is working great, and I can already notice a difference in the water quality.”

A LITTLE CLARITY
Our Cortland office (7115 Hoagland Blackstub Rd. Unit C, Cortland, OH 44410) is about 63 minutes and 45 miles by road from Enon Valley. Service calls for Enon Valley are scheduled from there.
Enon Valley and the municipalities around it: Little Beaver Township, Darlington Township, New Galilee, Darlington, East Palestine, New Beaver, Big Beaver, S.N.P.J., Unity Township, South Beaver Township. Beyond those, the rest of the 9 Lawrence County communities on our service map, from the same office.
Pennsylvania’s groundwater database (PaGWIS) lists 689 domestic wells within 5 miles of Enon Valley: the median is 120 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 77 and 184 feet. The median well was logged at 13 gallons per minute. Drillers reached bedrock at a median of 32 feet. Your own well's depth depends on the ground under your lot.
Yes. Enon Valley is in Pennsylvania, so Pennsylvania rules apply, and PA DEP permit assistance is part of the job even though the crew comes from the Cortland office in Ohio. The drilling, by air rotary or cable tool, and the pump system design work the same on either side of the state line. Call (330) 828-6060 to start.
When flow drops off, sediment shows up at the tap, or buildup coats the well and pump. A well inspection, with its flow test and a look at the pump and tank, helps tell a cleaning job apart from an equipment problem. With a median of 13 gallons a minute in the local logs, even a modest loss is noticeable, so it is worth checking early.
