Detailed Summary

Based on multiple water well logs, the representative geology around Channing, MI exhibits a near-surface soil or sand (typically 1-10 ft), transitioning into sandy clay and/or gravel with variability in thickness. Below these unconsolidated deposits, wells often encounter firmer clays, hardpans, or mixed drift, before terminating in bedrock (shale, sandstone, or slate), often around 60-120 ft, though some deeper wells report bedrock as deep as 220-262 ft. Most residential wells are screened or open at the base of the thickest sand/gravel or just into bedrock, achieving reliable yields. Static water levels generally range from 10-23 ft below grade. The majority of residential wells are constructed to 40-75 ft, while some high-capacity/municipal or poor-yielding areas may require deeper wells (100-262 ft).
