Detailed Summary
Analysis of representative well logs from the Dutton area reveals a consistent major sequence: a surficial clay or clay-sand unit (5–25 ft), underlain by layers of sand, clay, and sand/gravel, with brown or gray clays acting as semi-confining units. The most reliable residential water production is found in the mid to lower sand, sand/gravel, or sand and clay mixed units. Typical total well depths range from 60 to 124 ft, with most residential supply wells producing 10–22 GPM when completed between 60–90 ft, and static water levels between 28–40 ft below grade. The lower, more permeable sand/gravel unit is commonly targeted for screens and production wells.
