ASHTABULA COUNTY, OHIO · 51 MIN FROM OUR CORTLAND OFFICE
A new well near North Kingsville often needs a long run of casing. Rock lies a median 52 feet down in the 163 logs within five miles that record it, and 78 feet or more in a quarter of them. Since casing usually runs down to rock, it can fill much of the hole.

WHAT WE DO IN NORTH KINGSVILLE
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.
Homes on Aqua Ohio - Ashtabula's lines get their water report from Aqua, and homes on wells start from a test of their own water. On either supply, reverse osmosis at the sink is the usual answer if a test finds lead.
The median well depth here, 73 feet, ranks fifth of 19 county towns and sits above the county median of 60. The middle half of 203 logs runs from 55 to 99 feet. The rock mapped at the town center is Ohio Shale.
Pumps here are set deep: the static level has a median of 30 feet across 183 logs and reaches 50 or more in a quarter. Yields have a median of 4 gallons a minute, 2 or less in a quarter of logs, and the pump is sized to match.

Aqua Ohio - Ashtabula is a privately owned Lake Erie system serving 32,342 people through 13,255 connections. For corrosion control, its listed steps include an orthophosphate inhibitor, which protects the pipes.
EPA has ten lead rounds for the system. The five from 2017 to 2021 ran between 0.0027 and 0.005 mg/L, the highest for 2018. The four from December 2022 to June 2024 are recorded as zero, and the round ending December 2025 was 0.00309. Every round is under the 0.015 mg/L action level. Each is a 90th percentile across homes sampled on the system, so one tap can read differently, and a certified-lab test gives your own number. Reverse osmosis handles lead at the sink.
The static level, where water rests with the pump off, has a median of 30 feet in local logs, and the middle half runs from 16 to 50. Pumping draws the level down, so the pump goes in below the static level with room to spare. In many North Kingsville wells that puts it a long way down.
How hard it can work depends on the flow. With a median yield of 4 gallons a minute, and 10 or more in only a quarter of 186 logs, the pump is matched to what the well refills, and the water standing in the bore above it covers the busy minutes. A submersible pump suits that setting, and a pressure tank sized with it keeps start-ups down.
WATER IN ASHTABULA COUNTY
In USGS samples from across Ashtabula County, taken 1982–2016, 89% of wells were hard or very hard, 56% carried iron above the staining line, 78% had manganese above 0.05 mg/L. The full record, and what it means for treatment, is on the Ashtabula County page; your own well gets its own test.
WHY NORTH KINGSVILLE CHOOSES CHATFIELD
Rated 4.7 on Google across 104 reviews. Here is what working with us looks like, in a customer’s words.
“We bought a new home November 1st, 2024 and low and behold it had a collapsed well. After several quotes, we chose Chatfield drilling, and we’re glad we did! Matt & his team arrived quickly to assess the situation, and formulate a plan to get the H2O flowing again. Even through the holidays, they did not waiver. Eric their driller worked hard in the brutal NE Ohio cold to pound a well for us. We are beyond pleased, and have fantastic water!”

A LITTLE CLARITY

Ohio’s well-log database lists 203 domestic wells within 5 miles of North Kingsville: the median is 73 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 55 and 99 feet. The median well was logged at 4 gallons per minute. Drillers reached bedrock at a median of 52 feet. Your own well's depth depends on the ground under your lot.
Not often. A shallow-well jet pump pulls water up by suction from above ground, and suction only reaches so far. With water resting a median 30 feet down in local logs, and lower once the pump runs, most wells here need a submersible or a deep-well jet. A quarter of logs show water within 16 feet, where a shallow jet can sometimes work.
EPA records that round's 90th percentile, the level nine in ten sampled homes came in at or under, as 0 mg/L. Four of Aqua Ohio - Ashtabula's ten rounds read that way, from December 2022 to June 2024. It describes homes sampled across the system, not one house. A certified-lab test of your own tap shows yours.
