Lisbon Wells Sit Close to the County Middle
Lisbon’s wells are close to typical for Columbiana County. The local median depth of 140 feet sits just above the 135-foot median for domestic wells across the county’s ODNR records, and the village ranks ninth of 21 towns by depth. For planning a new well, the county’s typical well is a fair guide here, though your own lot has the final say.
Bedrock comes at a moderate depth, within 10 feet in a quarter of logs and past 36 in another quarter, and casing usually runs from the surface down into solid rock. Below it, the Allegheny and Pottsville Groups are mapped under the village: shale, siltstone, limestone and sandstone. Depth still drives what a new well costs, and residential well drilling lays out the steps.
Six Village Wells, Modest Private Yields
The village supply is groundwater from six wells, and village homes get their water report from the village. Outside it, each home’s well is its own supply, with its own pump, switch and tank, and yield is the limit to plan around: half the logs record 12 gallons per minute or less, and a quarter 7 or less.
At those rates, the pump’s output is chosen to match what the well can sustain, so it doesn’t outrun the well at peak use, when showers and laundry overlap. A correctly set pressure switch and a tank sized to the household keep it from short cycling, and pump system design covers the match.
