The Opaeula exploratory well (State well number 3-3505-26) was drilled about 1.2 miles east- southeast of the town of Haleiwa. The well is located on agricultural land in the Waialua ground-water area. The well was drilled at an elevation of about 287 feet above mean sea level and penetrates about 75 feet into a basalt aquifer. Well-construction data, logs of drilling notes, geologic descriptions for the samples, and caliper-log data are presented for the well. The well is one of 12 exploratory wells drilled in the north-central Oahu area between July 1993 and May 1994 in cooperation with the Honolulu Board of Water Supply.
