Detailed Summary

Water wells in China Township generally show a profile of approximately 60-110 feet of clay (gray/blue), occasionally with a few thin surficial sand/silt layers. Beneath the clay, zones of sand, sand & gravel, or occasionally hardpan act as the primary aquifers for residential wells. Some deeper wells encounter sandstone or fractured bedrock, but most residential wells terminate at sand/gravel horizons above 120 feet. Static water levels typically range from 10 to 39 ft. Typical drilling employs rotary or cable tool methods with bentonite-based grout. Most wells are cased to near the aquifer and commonly use screens in the lower sand/gravel or sandstone.
