Bedrock Geology: Chelmsford Granite & Ayer Crystalline Intrusive

Westford bedrock is notoriously dense granite. While water quality is crisp, natural rock fractures can be tight. Hydrofracturing is widely practiced in Westford to convert 0.5–1.5 GPM wells into reliable 5–10 GPM water sources.

Rock Formations Encountered: Massive gray granite with low primary porosity; relies on secondary fracture joints

Common Water Quality Chemistry

  • •Low well yield in tight granite formations
  • •Water radon levels up to 10,000 pCi/L
  • •Iron & sediment particulate
  • •Slightly acidic bedrock water
