WHAT WE DO IN WEST FARMINGTON
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.
Village customers get their water report from the village. Homes on private wells start with a water test, on site or through a certified lab. The county's USGS record has no iron or hardness numbers, so the equipment depends on what that test finds.
This is the deep end of the county. The median log here reaches 109 feet, first of 23 Trumbull County towns and well past the county's 96, and a quarter go beyond 152. Casing usually runs long too, since half the logs reach rock only at 46 feet or deeper.
Static water stands at a median of 31 feet, and at 48 or more in a quarter of logs, so the pump lifts further before it builds pressure. Yields center on 15 gallons a minute, with one in four at 7 or less, which the pump size has to respect.

No Trumbull County town has a deeper median well than West Farmington, first of 23 in the ranking. The middle half of its logs run from 80 to 152 feet, where the middle half of the county's domestic wells run 73 to 125. Rock is deep here as well: it sits at a median of 46 feet, and a quarter of logs didn't reach it until 88 feet or more.
For a new well, that deep cover means a longer run of casing before the bore enters rock, and more of the well's depth spent getting there. Ohio Shale, a Devonian black shale, is mapped at the town center. The drilling cost page explains how depth and casing shape a price, and residential drilling covers the work itself.
The West Farmington Village system (EPA ID OH7803911) is owned by local government and serves about 908 people through 313 connections. It has no wells of its own: it buys filtered surface water from the Trumbull County Braceville Township system. EPA lists a village treatment plant and one storage tank but no treatment steps, so we won't guess at what is added.
EPA's lead results at the 90th percentile were under the 0.015 mg/L action level in every round from 2017 through 2025 except 2021, which was over at 0.0152 mg/L. Several rounds were recorded as zero. Those figures are measured across taps in the village; yours can differ. A water test shows your own, and reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink is the usual answer if lead turns up.
WHY WEST FARMINGTON CHOOSES CHATFIELD
Rated 4.7 on Google across 104 reviews. Here is what working with us looks like, in a customer’s words.
“Chatfield Drilling replaced a submersible pump, extended our well casing above ground, and installed a sanitary cap at our farm house. This is our first experience with a well. Both Matt and Sam were happy to answer all of our questions, no matter how small, in a way that we could understand and enabled us to make informed decisions.”

Ohio’s well-log database lists 1,592 domestic wells within 5 miles of West Farmington: the median is 109 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 80 and 152 feet. The median well was logged at 15 gallons per minute. Drillers reached bedrock at a median of 46 feet. Your own well's depth depends on the ground under your lot.
Because rock lies deeper. Half the logs around the village reach it only after 46 feet, and one in four after 88 feet or more, so the casing that lines the upper hole and seals into rock is longer than where rock sits near the surface. The rig finds the rock as it drills, and beyond Ohio's 25-foot minimum, the casing length follows from that.
EPA's record for the West Farmington Village system lists no treatment steps, so we can't say what, if anything, is added in the village. The water it buys is filtered surface water from the Braceville Township system, and the village's own water report is the place to see what it contains. For hardness at your tap, a home test shows it.
