COLUMBIANA COUNTY, OHIO · 74 MIN FROM OUR CORTLAND OFFICE
What stands out around Homeworth is how far down the rock is. Half the local logs found bedrock deeper than 63 feet, and a quarter deeper than 105, so a good part of a typical well is cased soil rather than drilled rock. Below that, the median yield is 15 gallons per minute.

WHAT WE DO IN HOMEWORTH
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.
Scale is the likely first sign: USGS samples put Columbiana County’s median well hardness at 16.7 grains per gallon. After a water test, any iron and manganese, also common, come out ahead of a LuxSoft water softener, which handles the hardness.
Casing sets Homeworth wells apart, running through deep soil before it seats in rock. Depth is ordinary: the median well is 139 feet, 10th of 21 county towns and close to the county’s 135, with the middle half from 103 to 199.
With a 15-gallon median yield and water resting a median 50 feet down, the pump is rarely squeezed on a Homeworth well. It goes below the water with room for drawdown and is sized to the household.

Across the 1,533 Homeworth logs that recorded it, the median depth to bedrock is 63 feet. The middle half ranged from 32 to 105 feet, so a quarter of wells went more than 105 feet before touching rock. Casing runs from the surface through all of that material and seats in solid rock, which makes it a large and variable part of each well, and a real line in what a new well costs.
The total depth doesn’t run away to match. Half the wells finished by 139 feet and three in four by 199, so a good share of each hole is casing. The Allegheny and Pottsville Groups are mapped beneath the town. Residential well drilling covers how a cased well is completed and tested.
The median Homeworth log records 15 gallons per minute; the lower quarter stops at 10 or less and the upper quarter reaches 25 or more. Resting water sits a median 50 feet down, and the range is fairly narrow: 29 feet in the shallower quarter of wells, 70 in the deeper.
That combination leaves room to size the pump to the household instead of to a slow well. A submersible pump set below the water and a pressure tank sized for the home’s peak use cover most setups. When a system that used to keep up starts to struggle, pump repair and diagnostics sorts out whether the well or the equipment has changed.
WATER IN COLUMBIANA COUNTY
In USGS samples from across Columbiana County, taken 1986–2016, 86% of wells were hard or very hard, 79% carried iron above the staining line, 86% had manganese above 0.05 mg/L. The full record, and what it means for treatment, is on the Columbiana County page; your own well gets its own test.

Ohio’s well-log database lists 1,788 domestic wells within 5 miles of Homeworth: the median is 139 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 103 and 199 feet. The median well was logged at 15 gallons per minute. Drillers reached bedrock at a median of 63 feet. Your own well's depth depends on the ground under your lot.
Because there is a lot of it. Bedrock lies a median 63 feet down here, and past 105 feet in a quarter of wells. Casing has to run through all of that soil to seal the well from surface water and seat in rock, so on many lots it is a large share of the materials and the work.
Not by default. Casing seated in solid rock is what keeps loose soil out of the water, and a well built that way shouldn’t pull grit from the ground above the rock. If sand or cloudiness shows up anyway, the Alluvium Sediment System filters it at the main line, and a well inspection checks the well and pump for the cause.
