The table below lists the most common well problems that occur in the aquifer types listed. You will also see the typical maintenance frequency used by municipal well owners to resolve the problems.

Aquifer Type	Most Prevalent Well Problems*	Major Maintenance Frequency Requirement (Municipal)
Alluval	Silt, clay, sand intrusion; iron precipitation; incrustation of screens; biologic fouling; limited recharge; casing failure	2-5 years
Sandstone	Fissure plugging; casing failure; sand production; corrosion	6-10 years
Limestone	Fissure plugging by clay, silt, and carbonate scale	6-12 years
Basaltic Lavas	Fissure and vesicle plugging by clay and silt; some scale deposition	6-12 years
Interbedded Sandstone & Shale	Low initial yields; plugging of aquifer by clay and silt; fissure plugging; limited recharge; casing failure	4-7 years
Metamorphic	Low initial yield; fissure plugging by silt and clay; mineralization of fissures	12-15 years
Consolidated Sedimentary	Fissure plugging by iron and other minerals; low to medium initial yield	6-8 years
Semiconsolidated & Consolidated Sedimentary	Clay, silt, sand intrusion; incrustation of screens in sand and gravel wells; fissure plugging of limestone aquifers in the interbedded sand gravel, marl, clay, silt formations; biologic fouling; iron precipitation	5-8 years
