CRAWFORD COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA · 40 MIN FROM OUR GREENVILLE OFFICE
Linesville’s public water comes from six groundwater sources, four wells and two spring groups, treated at the Penn Street Plant and the Bunday Garage. Around the town, the well logs put rock at a median 20 feet, and yields vary: a quarter of 612 logged wells gave 7 gallons per minute or less.

WHAT WE DO IN LINESVILLE
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 municipal authority lists chlorine gas at two points, before and after treatment, plus 4-log virus treatment, which inactivates almost all viruses. That chlorine is what a tap on the system may taste of, and a CityLux whole-home system removes it. A private well gets tested first.
Wells here are mid-depth for the county, 11th of 16 Crawford County towns by median, and half the 637 depth logs fall between 59 and 100 feet. Chatfield drills by air rotary or cable tool, matched to the ground, and offers PA DEP permit assistance.
Yields run from 7 gallons per minute or less in a quarter of logs to 20 or more in another quarter. That range is why the pump is chosen after the flow test: a submersible and pressure tank matched to the well, with constant pressure where steady flow matters.

PaGWIS records

EPA’s record for the Linesville Municipal Authority lists six active groundwater sources: Well #1 through Well #4, and Spring Group #1 and Spring Group #2. Two treatment facilities are named, the Penn Street Plant and the Bunday Garage, and the authority serves a population of 1,600 through 550 connections.
Treatment on the record is disinfection: chlorine gas fed before and after treatment, and 4-log treatment of viruses, a level that kills nearly all of them. EPA lists no lead 90th-percentile rounds for the system. Any system result is measured across many homes and yours can differ, so a home test is the way to know. Reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink is the usual fix if lead turns up. For the taste of chlorine, see chlorine removal.
Drillers here reach rock early. The 328 logs that record bedrock put it at a median 20 feet, with a quarter reaching it by 14 and three in four by 35. Casing usually goes down to rock, so on a typical lot it’s a short run and the rest of the hole is in rock. At the town center, the map shows Berea Sandstone through Venango Formation, Late Devonian shale, sandstone and siltstone.
Over the years, the open hole and the casing can collect buildup that slows the flow. Well cleaning loosens it and pumps it out, and a well inspection measures the yield so you can tell whether it has dropped. Compare it with the figure on the well’s original log, if you have one.
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.

A LITTLE CLARITY
Our Greenville office (854 Mercer Rd., Greenville, PA 16125) is about 40 minutes and 25 miles by road from Linesville. Service calls for Linesville are scheduled from there.

Beyond those, the rest of the 16 Crawford County communities on our service map, from the same office.
Pennsylvania’s groundwater database (PaGWIS) lists 637 domestic wells within 5 miles of Linesville: the median is 76 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 59 and 100 feet. The median well was logged at 14 gallons per minute. Drillers reached bedrock at a median of 20 feet. Your own well's depth depends on the ground under your lot.
EPA’s record lists no softening step for the Linesville Municipal Authority, only disinfection, and it gives no hardness figure. So the way to know is a test at your tap. A water test measures hardness in grains per gallon, and a LuxSoft softener is picked to fit that reading and your household’s use.
A well in rock takes in water through the fractures it crosses, and those differ from one hole to the next. Of 612 logs around the town, a quarter gave 7 gallons per minute or less and a quarter 20 or more. The flow test on your own well, not a neighbor’s, is what the pump is sized from.
