Some of the factors driving local groundwater usage include population (demand) and geology (supply). Many municipalities are underlain with large sand, gravel or compacted sandstone deposits, making them suitable for large amounts of groundwater withdrawal.
Ohio Drilling has explored for groundwater, compiled maps, drilled & tested production wells, and provided pumps for nearly every municipality in our region for over 100 years. Our expertise covers the state of Ohio, southern Michigan, western Pennsylvania, and northern West Virginia. This experience allows Ohio Drilling Co. to assist municipalities in their search for new water sources for local treatment plants. Beyond the source water and wells for extraction, we also troubleshoot and repair many of the problems found in production wells and high service pumps. We are happy to share our knowledge with any interested municipality to serve their water well needs in the greater Ohio region.
