Madison Aquifer

The Madison Limestone Formation is a 600-foot-thick limestone/dolomite known to contain good quality and quantity of water. In the northeast region of Wyoming, this formation is believed to be charged with water from the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming and the Black Hills of South Dakota due to the upthrust and surface exposure of the Madison Formation. These Madison exposures at high mountain elevations can create high artesian pressures in the foothills and basins where the formations are deeply buried.

The Well

Drilled to a depth of 3,809± feet, the well is rated at 1,200± gallons per minute of artesian flow, with approximately 300 psi of pressure at the surface. The well penetrates 567± feet of the Madison Limestone Formation. The well has been analyzed and rigorously tested for consistency of quality and quantity of flow. Engineering reports and analyses can be provided to qualified buyers.

PIPELINE & LOADOUT FACILITY

A pipeline extends from the well to a loadout facility located at the end of Muddy Creek Road. This loadout facility was designed to load semi-tanker trucks. Both the well and loadout facility are enclosed in heated structures.

EASEMENTS

The pipeline and loadout facility are located within perpetual easements which are attached to and for the benefit of the well parcel.
Please reach out to the listing agent for details of these easements.
