If Your Well Depth or Water Source Varies Across Plymouth County

Government sampling in Plymouth County has examined wells ranging between 8 and 166 feet deep within aquifer 112SRFD. The depth and source type influence water composition and treatment requirements. Water drawn from shallower wells may differ significantly in characteristics from deeper wells, affecting what a household might see in their tap water and how treatment equipment performs. Understanding the nature of your water source helps set realistic expectations for equipment capacity and effectiveness.

If You Consider Variations in Chloride Levels Over Time

The U.S. Geological Survey sampled 35 results from 17 separate wells in Plymouth County over nearly a decade, from 2010 to 2019. Chloride concentrations varied widely, with a median value around 41.2 mg/L and a range from 4.55 up to 648.0 mg/L. This variation reflects natural or environmental factors that can change with season and over multiple years, so any single test might not fully capture your water's typical condition. Being aware of this variability is key when evaluating potential improvements for your water treatment setup.

If Your Water Treatment Equipment Needs to Handle Fluctuations and Capacity Demands

When household equipment is maintaining water quality but struggles to keep pace with overall demand or changes in water quality, enhancing treatment capacity may be necessary. The Autotrol Total Well Chlorination System is designed to address such circumstances, offering a grain capacity rated at 32,000 grains to accommodate substantial water volumes and water-quality fluctuations. This system ships ready to configure in a residential setting and provides comprehensive treatment adapting to variations in water composition typical for Plymouth County wells.

If You Operate a Commercial or Industrial Water System in This Area

Commercial and industrial users face additional considerations beyond residential needs, including higher volumes, regulatory requirements, and specific water-quality standards. While this guide focuses on household treatment, such operators need to evaluate their source characteristics closely, conduct precise testing, and consider systems designed specifically for heavier-duty or customized applications. Consultation with qualified water quality professionals is advisable for these contexts.

If You Compare Plymouth County Water Quality to Nearby Regions

Water quality varies by geographic area and aquifer characteristics. Comparing Plymouth County’s chloride concentration findings to neighboring counties should be done cautiously, as regional geology and land use influence water chemistry differently. Use government data as a reference for the specific aquifer sampled rather than direct comparisons, recognizing that local conditions may produce distinct water quality challenges and treatment needs.

In summary, the U.S. Geological Survey’s data for Plymouth County wells within aquifer 112SRFD provides a detailed look at chloride levels over a range of depths and time, informing what households might expect and guiding treatment decisions.

Where this information comes from

Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2019-09-05. These figures describe groundwater sampled in this area. They are not a test of any individual private well - only a test of that well can establish its own water.

On record: U.S. Geological Survey sampling of Chloride in the 112SRFD aquifer (Plymouth County): 35 results from 17 wells, median 41.2 mg/L, range 4.55-648.0 mg/L; 5 above an AESTHETIC secondary standard only (secondary standard 250.0 mg/L (aesthetic)) - not a health finding
