Detailed Summary

Based on sampled well logs from Detroit and surrounding Wayne County, the most representative subsurface profile consists of a thick (often >40–100 ft) clay sequence (brown and gray, with some silt or stones), occasionally interbedded with thin sand or silt lenses, grading to persistent lower sand/gravel aquifer between ~60 and 75 ft. In deeper wells (100–130+ ft), the base is underlain by limestone or limestone with shale. Some logs indicate the clay sequence nearly to bedrock, with only minimal sand. The most productive residential wells (yielding 5–15+ GPM) commonly finish in the sand/gravel or just into fractured limestone. Static water levels average 20–42 ft below grade. Rotary drilling with mud circulation and PVC casing/grouting is prevalent.
