Water table depths range from 250 feet near the river to 550 feet on elevated bench properties. Water quality in LaVerkin wells tends toward moderate hardness with calcium and magnesium from limestone formations, and properties near the hot springs area may encounter elevated mineral content including sulfur that requires standard treatment.
