MAHONING COUNTY, OHIO · 37 MIN FROM OUR CORTLAND OFFICE
Water rests close to the surface in wells around Poland: a median 25 feet down in the logs within 5 miles, and 15 feet or less in one log in four. That keeps the pump setting fairly shallow, but it doesn't make the well shallow. Depth is set by where the hole takes in enough water.

WHAT WE DO IN POLAND
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.
Whole-house treatment goes in a set order. Sediment filtration comes first, then iron removal, then softening, with Luminor UV last so the light reaches clear water. A water test at a Poland home shows which of those steps, if any, a well needs.
Poland is 16th of 21 Mahoning County towns by median well depth. Rock begins between 20 and 48 feet down in the middle half of 1,582 logs, so a typical logged hole is mostly rock below a moderate run of casing.
With water this close to the top, a submersible pump needn't hang far down, which keeps the lift short. Yields in the middle half run 10 to 20 gallons a minute, and the pump and pressure tank are matched to the well's tested figure.

The resting water level is where water stands in a well with the pump off. Of 1,579 logs near Poland that record it, the middle half fall between 15 and 45 feet. Water enters the well from the beds and fractures the hole crosses in rock, and in the bore it settles at that level, so a well with water at 20 feet can still be well over a hundred feet deep.
For drilling, depth follows yield: the hole goes on until enough water comes in, and the middle half of logged wells stop between 82 and 150 feet. Residential drilling covers the job. For the pump, the shallow level helps: a submersible pump set below the pumping level still hangs well up the hole, with less lift.
Casing runs from the surface into the rock, which starts between 20 and 48 feet down in the middle half of logs near Poland. The gap between the casing and the drilled hole is filled with grout, so nothing from the surface can follow the pipe down. At the top, the casing should stand clear of the ground under a cap that keeps out insects and runoff.
On an older well, a casing top buried in a yard or a cracked cap is worth fixing, since both can let surface water in. A well inspection looks at the wellhead along with the pump and the flow.
WATER IN MAHONING COUNTY
In USGS samples from across Mahoning County, taken 1978–2001, 60% of wells were hard or very hard. The full record, and what it means for treatment, is on the Mahoning County page; your own well gets its own test.

“I had the pleasure of having Sam and Hunter for the installation of my new water softener, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The system is working great, and I can already notice a difference in the water quality.”

A LITTLE CLARITY
Our Cortland office (7115 Hoagland Blackstub Rd. Unit C, Cortland, OH 44410) is about 37 minutes and 28 miles by road from Poland. Service calls for Poland are scheduled from there.
Poland and the municipalities around it: Struthers, Poland Township, Boardman Township, Lowellville, Campbell, Youngstown, New Middletown, Coitsville Township, Springfield Township, Beaver Township. Beyond those, the rest of the 21 Mahoning County communities on our service map, from the same office.
Ohio’s well-log database lists 1,666 domestic wells within 5 miles of Poland: the median is 109 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 82 and 150 feet. The median well was logged at 15 gallons per minute. Drillers reached bedrock at a median of 32 feet. Your own well's depth depends on the ground under your lot.
The logs record each well's level once, when it was drilled, so they don't show seasonal swings. A well with its pump set well below the pumping level has room for the level to drop in a dry spell; one set close to it may start drawing air. A well inspection measures the flow the well gives now and looks over the pump and wellhead, which is where that check starts.
Readings for the things that decide equipment, such as hardness, iron and pH, taken on site, with a certified lab for bacteria, lead or nitrate. We go over the results with you at the free consultation, and treatment is suggested only for what the numbers show.
