CRAWFORD COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA · 80 MIN FROM OUR GREENVILLE OFFICE
Titusville Municipal Water pumps from ten wells for a population of 6,146, and EPA records the lead 90th percentile as 0 mg/L in every round on its list, from 2016 through 2025. Around the town, the well logs run deep: the area ranks 2nd of 16 Crawford County towns by median depth, and a quarter of logs passed 148 feet.

WHAT WE DO IN TITUSVILLE
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.
The municipal system’s record lists chlorine gas, fed before treatment, and 4-log treatment to kill viruses. So chlorine is what a municipal tap may taste or smell of, and a CityLux whole-home system removes it. Homes on wells around Titusville start with a water test instead.
Most of a well here is drilled in rock. At the town center, the map shows Corry Sandstone through Riceville Formation, Late Devonian sandstone, shale and siltstone. Chatfield drills by air rotary and cable tool, and offers PA DEP permit assistance.
The middle half of 291 logged yields runs from 10 to 20 gallons per minute, with a median of 14. Wells in that range usually take a submersible with a pressure tank sized to the household, and a constant-pressure upgrade where several taps run at once.

EPA’s record for Titusville Municipal Water lists ten active wells, all groundwater, and one treatment plant, serving 2,763 connections. The listed treatment is disinfection: chlorine gas added before treatment, and 4-log treatment of viruses, a level of disinfection that inactivates nearly all of them.
Four lead sampling rounds appear on the record, for periods ending in September 2016, 2019, 2022 and 2025, and EPA records the 90th percentile as 0 mg/L in each, against an action level of 0.015 mg/L. That figure is measured across homes on the system, and one tap can differ from the system as a whole. A water test at your sink settles it for your house, and reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink is the usual answer if a test finds lead.
The well logs within 5 miles of Titusville run deep. By median depth the area ranks 2nd of 16 in Crawford County, and half the 310 depth logs fall between 70 and 148 feet. With rock at a median 34 feet in 212 logs, most of that length is drilled in rock.
Depth drives a well’s price more than anything else, since every foot is drilling time. The finished depth isn’t chosen in advance, because the well goes as deep as it takes to give enough water. What a new well costs lists the other factors, and wells this deep usually run a submersible pump down in the hole rather than a jet pump at the surface.
WATER IN CRAWFORD COUNTY
In USGS samples from across Crawford County, taken 1928–2023, 77% of wells were hard or very hard, 35% carried iron above the staining line, 45% had manganese above 0.05 mg/L. The full record, and what it means for treatment, is on the Crawford County page; your own well gets its own test.

A LITTLE CLARITY
Our Greenville office (854 Mercer Rd., Greenville, PA 16125) is about 80 minutes and 50 miles by road from Titusville. Service calls for Titusville are scheduled from there.
Titusville and the municipalities around it: Oil Creek Township, Hydetown, Cherrytree Township, Oil Creek Township, Pleasantville, Southwest Township, Rome Township, Troy Township, Allegheny Township, Plum Township. Beyond those, the rest of the 16 Crawford County communities on our service map, from the same office.
Pennsylvania’s groundwater database (PaGWIS) lists 310 domestic wells within 5 miles of Titusville: the median is 101 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 70 and 148 feet. The median well was logged at 14 gallons per minute. Drillers reached bedrock at a median of 34 feet. Your own well's depth depends on the ground under your lot.
EPA’s record doesn’t list either. The only steps on it are chlorine gas, fed before treatment, and 4-log treatment of viruses, both for disinfection. If you see scale or staining on municipal water, a test at your tap shows what’s there. A LuxSoft softener handles hardness, and a FerronX Iron System handles iron and manganese.
In deep bedrock, air rotary is the usual choice, and Chatfield drills by both air rotary and cable tool, matched to the ground at the site. Here, a quarter of logged wells went past 148 feet and rock sat a median 34 feet down, so most of a new hole is in rock. The method is settled once the site has been looked at.
