Detailed Summary

Most wells in Flushing Township penetrate surficial sand and clay (often interbedded) ranging from 40-80 ft thick, sometimes containing layers with gravel or stones. Beneath these glacial sediments, bedrock aquifers begin, initially as sandstone—sometimes interbedded with shale or limestone—typically encountered between 80-120 ft. Wells are most often completed in sandstone or mixed sandstone/shale layers, which provide the best yields. Static water levels are commonly between 20-40 ft below grade. Residential wells—targeting yields of 10-20+ GPM—most frequently extend to depths of 140-190 ft.
