Well Drillers Near Brighton, Michigan

A geological estimate for the Brighton area.

Detailed Summary

Brighton wells generally encounter a sequence beginning with clay, clay mixed with sand and gravel, followed by significant sand and gravel aquifers, and in deeper wells, bedrock such as sandstone, shale, or limestone. Water-bearing zones are consistently reported in the deeper glacial sands/gravels or upper bedrock (typically sandstone or shale). Most residential wells yield 10–20+ GPM at depths between 70 and 140 ft. Static water levels typically range from 20 to 50 ft below ground. Construction is usually with PVC casing, rotary drilling with bentonite grouting, and a screened interval at the main aquifer or open-hole in bedrock, with filter pack commonly present in sand/gravel aquifers.
