Well Drillers Near Coopersville, Michigan

A geological estimate for the Coopersville area.

Detailed Summary

Based on synthesis of multiple well logs from the greater Coopersville region, the typical vertical profile includes: a shallow surficial layer (sand, sand/gravel, or topsoil) between 0–15 ft, followed by a substantial glacial clay sequence (mostly gray, blue, or red clay—often laminated or with occasional gravel), extending to roughly 120–160 ft below grade. Interbedded sand and gravel intervals commonly occur within and just below the clay, frequently forming a significant sand/gravel aquifer between 110–130 ft. Bedrock (mainly sandstone, sometimes with shale) is consistently encountered below ~190–200 ft and is often noted as a productive aquifer. Most household wells achieving 10–15+ GPM water yields reach total depths of 120–200 ft, either terminating in deep sand/gravel or at the top of water-bearing sandstone.
