Detailed Summary
Analysis of sampled well logs from the Farwell, MI area indicates a consistent geological profile in unconsolidated glacial drift. Most wells begin with surficial sand, transitioning quickly to thick (often >20 ft) clay or clay-with-stones layers, underlain by additional sand or sand & gravel. The most dependable residential aquifers are coarse water-bearing sands, typically found immediately below a soft gray or blue clay aquitard. Deepest well completions continue this alternation, but residential supply is almost always developed at the uppermost thick sand or sand-gravel unit, beneath major clay. Average static water level is about 21-30 ft. Most 5-15+ GPM residential wells are drilled to 40-85 ft, with high capacity wells up to 100 ft.
