<p><span>One of the deepest </span>water<span>‐exploration wells </span>in<span> the southeastern United States was completed </span>in<span> 1966 </span>at<span> </span>Jacksonville<span>, </span>Florida<span>. It was drilled to a depth of nearly 2,500 feet to supply geologic and hydrologic information on the deeper unexplored part of the Floridan </span>aquifer<span>. This </span>aquifer<span> consists of a series of </span>water<span> producing </span>zones<span> separated by nonproducing </span>zones<span>. An important new fresh‐</span>water<span> producing </span>zone<span> was found, and the contact between the fresh </span>water<span> and salt </span>water<span> was located. The well was completed </span>in<span> three separate </span>zones<span> so that it could be used to monitor the the deeper part of the </span>aquifer<span> to detect any salt‐</span>water<span> encroachment. This paper describes the objectives, techniques, and results of drilling the </span>test<span> well.</span></p>
