Detailed Summary
A representative geological profile for Dowagiac, based on well logs from across the city and nearby, shows a surficial unit of sand and gravel (with some topsoil), commonly 20-40 feet thick, overlaying alternating intervals of clay (variously sandy, silty, or gravelly) and sand/gravel aquifer units extending to at least 200 ft. The thickest aquifer zones—either sand or sand/gravel, ranging from fine to coarse—commonly occur (~35-90 ft and ~120-200 ft depths); they are separated by gray or brown clay units, which vary from 10 to 65 ft thick. Shallower static water levels (12–50 ft) are typical in newer wells. A typical residential well tapping a 5–15+ GPM source would be completed at 80–130 ft, while high capacity wells go to 180–220+ ft. Almost all wells use rotary (mud) drilling, with PVC casing set and bentonite-slurry grout. Outliers (like deep shale or thin local lenses) were ignored in this synthesis.

| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 2 ft | Topsoil / Sand | Brown topsoil or surface sand, sometimes with some gravel. | Color: Brown Hardness: Soft |
| 2 – 30 ft | Sand & Gravel | Medium to coarse sand and gravel. Major surficial aquifer zone. | Color: Brown/Tan Hardness: Medium |
| 30 – 60 ft | Clay (interbedded, silty or sandy) | Mostly gray or brown clay, sometimes sandy or with fine gravel. | Color: Gray/Brown Hardness: Medium to Hard |
| 60 – 94 ft | Sand / Sand & Gravel (major aquifer) | Thick interval of sand, sand & gravel; water-bearing zone targeted by most wells. | Color: Tan/Gray Hardness: Medium |
| 94 – 130 ft | Clay (interbedded, gray to brown, some sandy lenses) | Mostly gray or brown clay, with some sandy or silty intervals; acts as aquitard. | Color: Gray/Brown Hardness: Hard |
| 130 – 180 ft | Sand & Gravel (deep aquifer) | Thick water-bearing sand and gravel or coarse sand, major aquifer for higher capacity wells. | Color: Gray/Tan Hardness: Medium |
| 180 – 220 ft | Clay/sand interbedded | Alternating layers of clay, sandy clay, and sand with some gravel. Local aquifer presence. | Color: Gray/Brown Hardness: Medium |
