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.
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

Required Potability Testing Suite
Before occupancy permits are issued in Westford, certified lab water testing must verify safety across these parameters:
- ✓Standard 310 CMR Private Well Water Suite
- ✓Coliform & E. Coli bacteria
- ✓Nitrates & Volatile Organics

- ✓Certified 4-hour sustained pump yield test
High-Pressure Hydrofracturing Yield Recovery
Existing well yield declined from 4 GPM to 0.75 GPM during late summer drought. Deployed dual-packer hydrofracking rig at 220 ft and 380 ft zones with 3,000 PSI water injection. Yield surged from 0.75 GPM to 8.5 GPM.
