Well Drillers Near Arcadia, Michigan

A geological estimate for the Arcadia area.

Detailed Summary

Representative well geology for Arcadia and surrounding areas generally shows a layered sequence. Surface deposits are sand (6-15 ft thick), underlain by clay (commonly red, gray, or yellow, and/or with sand streaks) with a collective thickness between 25 and 40 ft. Below this, mixed sand/clay and clay/sand or sand & gravel intervals predominate, often alternating, down to 60-70 ft. Major water-bearing zones are typically sand, sand/gravel, or sand/stones, and can be encountered from ~45–80 feet for residential supply. High-capacity or flowing wells (especially toward 200 ft deep) indicate deeper sand aquifers separated by additional clay layers. Outlier wells exceeding 150 ft encountered repeating sand and clay, with productive zones in the deepest sand. This profile ignores anomalously thick or thin layers and focuses on consistent, reported stratigraphy.
