Septic & well water services in Pennington County, MN
Lake Agassiz plain with clay and silty lakebed soils around Thief River Falls gives very slow percolation and standing water in flat fields after snowmelt. The confluence of the Thief and Red Lake rivers floods regularly, and the shallow water table across the plain leaves no room for conventional trench depth, so mounds prevail. Wells reach buried sand and gravel at 100 to 300 feet, delivering hard, iron-rich water that usually needs softening.
