Detailed Summary

Based on a synthesis of several well logs from Belding and surrounding townships, the regional geology commonly consists of a surficial clay (often brown/gray), overlying sand or mixed sand/silt, with further alternations between clay, sand, and occasionally gravel below 30–40 feet. The main aquifer utilized for household supply is typically a thick sand or mixed sand/gravel unit, often reached around 50–130 ft deep. Clay layers dominate above and between sand zones, and many wells transition into coarser or water-bearing zones near their base. Static water levels typically range from 10–60 ft below grade, and most residential wells achieve 5–20+ GPM when completed in the principal sand/gravel aquifer.
