Casing Lengths Vary Around Sharon
Half of the 192 local logs that note bedrock found it by 20 feet. Beyond that the spread is wide: the middle half runs from 12 to 49 feet, so the casing on one property can be a fraction of what another needs. Casing usually runs down to solid rock and seats into it, so its length is settled on site as the hole goes down, not read off a map.
Under the town, the map shows Cuyahoga Group rock, a Mississippian mix of shale, siltstone and sandstone. By median well depth, Sharon ranks 5th of 15 Mercer County towns. Casing footage and total depth are two of the numbers behind what goes into well cost, and our drilling services cover air rotary and cable tool work.
Keeping Pressure Steady on Sharon Wells
The 310 yield logs put the median at 15 gallons a minute, with a quarter at 30 or more. Most logged wells here can keep a household supplied, so the real work is keeping pressure even. That falls to parts working together: the pump, the pressure switch that turns it on and off, and the pressure tank that holds water under air pressure between starts. A pitted switch can chatter or stick, and a tank that has lost its air charge makes the pump short-cycle. A constant-pressure upgrade trades the on-off swing for a variable-speed pump.
If your home is on public water instead, the supply is Aqua PA Shenango Valley’s treated river water and the utility sends the report. The Sharon treatment page covers it.
