TRUMBULL COUNTY, OHIO · 24 MIN FROM OUR CORTLAND OFFICE
Rock comes up fast around Orangeville. Half of 343 logs reach it by 16 feet, and three in four by 22, so most of a well here is drilled through rock rather than soil. The finished wells aren't shallow, though: the median log goes to 93 feet, 14th of 23 Trumbull County towns.

WHAT WE DO IN ORANGEVILLE
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.
Orange or black staining on fixtures often points to iron or manganese, which the FerronX Iron System removes. The county's USGS record has no iron or manganese figures, so a test, on site or through a certified lab, confirms what is there before any system goes in.
Rock sits 12 to 22 feet deep in the middle half of logs, so the casing, 25 feet or more under Ohio's rules, ends in rock. Below it, wells carry on to a median of 93 feet, just under the county's 96, and a quarter pass 125, the county's own upper-quarter mark.
Yields center on 15 gallons a minute, with a quarter of logs at 30 or more and a quarter at 10 or less. Static water at a median of 25 feet puts the pump down in the well, typically a submersible sized to the tested flow.

The soil and loose material over Orangeville's rock is thin, thinner than the 25 feet of casing that Ohio's private-well rules require at minimum. Of the 343 logs that record depth to rock, the middle half found it between 12 and 22 feet, with the median at 16.
That doesn't make the wells shallow. The median log keeps going to 93 feet, so most of a typical well is open bore in rock below the casing. Maxville Limestone and the Rushville, Logan and Cuyahoga Formations are mapped at the town center. Casing is one factor in a well's price, and the cost guide sets it beside depth and the rest. For a new well, residential drilling explains the process.
Yields in the logs vary widely. The middle half of 328 records give 10 to 30 gallons a minute. A well in the upper quarter can carry heavier use; one in the lower quarter needs its pump sized with care so it doesn't draw the level down faster than the well refills.
The lift is moderate. Static water sits at a median of 25 feet and at 40 or more in one log of four. A submersible pump set below the pumping level handles either case, and a pressure tank sized to it lets the pump rest between draws. The well pumps page covers the options, and we also fit constant-pressure upgrades.
WHY ORANGEVILLE 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!”

Ohio’s well-log database lists 368 domestic wells within 5 miles of Orangeville: the median is 93 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 78 and 125 feet. The median well was logged at 15 gallons per minute. Drillers reached bedrock at a median of 16 feet. Your own well's depth depends on the ground under your lot.
No. They come from Ohio DNR well logs, 368 of them within five miles, so wells across the state line aren't counted. Chatfield drills on both sides, with Ohio EPA permit assistance in Ohio and PA DEP permit assistance in Pennsylvania, and a well across the line is planned from its own site and records.
It depends on the problem. Iron, odor, hardness and sediment affect every tap and are treated where water enters the house. Concerns about drinking water alone, such as nitrate, arsenic or lead, are usually handled with Atlas Filtri Oasis Sanic reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink. A water test shows which, if either, applies.
