Detailed Summary

Averaging the provided logs, the representative profile for Adrian begins with a shallow clay or sandy clay (often yellow or brown), underlain by a long sequence of dense to blue/gray clay (sometimes interbedded with minor sand or gravel seams). Below the thick clay, an extensive sand or sand & gravel unit forms the main water-bearing aquifer. Most residential wells encounter their main yield in this basal sand/gravel between 90–125 ft, with static water levels generally 10–45 ft below grade and yields of 10–20+ GPM. Shallower wells (~50–60 ft) are possible but commonly have higher static water and are less consistent in high-yielding sand thickness.
