ASHTABULA COUNTY, OHIO · 35 MIN FROM OUR CORTLAND OFFICE
Wells around Windsor have the deepest median of 19 Ashtabula County towns: 80 feet across 1,039 logs within five miles. Rock comes up close, though, at a median 19 feet. So a well of median depth here is mostly hole drilled through rock, below the casing.

WHAT WE DO IN WINDSOR
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.
Backwashing filters and softener regeneration need a steady flow. The local median of 9 gallons a minute gives equipment something to work with, but it is still sized to your well, and wells in the slowest quarter, at 4 or less, need a closer look. A water test decides what gets fitted.
With the middle half of logs running from 60 to 118 feet, depth is the figure to plan a well here around. The driller watches the flow as the hole goes down and stops once it gives the house enough water.
The median yield of 999 logs is 9 gallons a minute, but the middle half spans 4 to 20, so pump sizes vary widely. The flow your own well gives on test sets the size.

Windsor's wells run well past the county norm. Ashtabula County's 5,480 domestic well logs put the county median at 60 feet, with a middle half of 50 to 80, and the local logs sit well above that. Their median is 80 feet, a quarter reach 118 feet or more, and only a quarter stop at 60 or less.
The rock mapped at the town center is Ohio Shale, a Devonian black shale. Rock starts high: half of the 880 logs that record bedrock meet it within 19 feet, and three in four within 29. Casing runs at least 25 feet under Ohio's private-well rules, and down to rock where rock is deeper. The extra footage of a deep well is drilled rock. Residential well drilling covers the work, and the cost page explains how depth enters a quote.
Water rises a long way up these holes. Across 954 logs, the static level, where water settles with the pump off, has a median of 15 feet below ground, and three in four sit at 32 feet or less. In an 80-foot well with water at 15 feet, most of the bore is full, a reserve the pump draws down during heavy use before the well itself has to keep pace.
That reserve refills only at the well's own rate. A submersible pump hung low in the bore works through it, sized to the flow measured when the well is test-pumped, and a pressure tank sized with it keeps the pump from starting every time a tap opens.
WATER IN ASHTABULA COUNTY
In USGS samples from across Ashtabula County, taken 1982–2016, 89% of wells were hard or very hard, 56% carried iron above the staining line, 78% had manganese above 0.05 mg/L. The full record, and what it means for treatment, is on the Ashtabula County page; your own well gets its own test.
WHY WINDSOR 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!”

A LITTLE CLARITY
Our Cortland office (7115 Hoagland Blackstub Rd. Unit C, Cortland, OH 44410) is about 35 minutes and 26 miles by road from Windsor. Service calls for Windsor are scheduled from there.
Windsor and the municipalities around it: Windsor Township, Orwell Village, Orwell Township, Mesopotamia Township, Hartsgrove Township, Huntsburg Township, Bloomfield Township, Rome Township, Middlefield Township, Montville Township. Beyond those, the rest of the 19 Ashtabula County communities on our service map, from the same office.
Ohio’s well-log database lists 1,039 domestic wells within 5 miles of Windsor: the median is 80 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 60 and 118 feet. The median well was logged at 9 gallons per minute. Drillers reached bedrock at a median of 19 feet. Your own well's depth depends on the ground under your lot.
Most of it, going by the medians: rock starts a median 19 feet down in 880 logs, and the median well is 80 feet deep. Rock depth is also the steadier number, between 13 and 29 feet in the middle half of logs, while the middle half of well depths spreads from 60 to 118.
No log can promise a figure for one lot, but the local ones set the range: half of the 999 that record a yield show 9 gallons a minute or more, a quarter 20 or more, and a quarter 4 or less. Your own well's test-pumped flow is what the pump and tank are sized to.
