Irondogenesee Aquifer
FromGroundWaterAtlasoftheUnitedStates
The Irondogenesee aquifer consists of two
thick, productive sand and gravel layers and
lenses that are separated in most places byless permeable glacial-lake beds.
Wells in the Dewitt Road field reportedly
produce water from only the lower
permeable zone.
The lower permeable zone of the aquifer is
from 60 to 85 feet thick and might extend as
far west as the center of the Irondogenesee
Valley; the zone extends northward under
Lake Ontario.

Irondogenesee Aquifer
FromGroundWaterAtlasoftheUnitedStates
In the southern part of the area, the
aquifer consists only of the lower
permeable zone (sections E-E', F-F', fig.
46). Here, the lower permeable zone
consists of sand and gravel, which is
about 80 feet thick (section F-F', fig. 46)
and extends laterally at least 3 miles.
Well fields that supply East Rochester
and Pittsford obtain water from this zone.
The northern extent of this sand and
gravel is unknown, but it may connect
with the lower permeable zone of the
aquifer at the Dewitt Road well field.
