Well Drillers Near Fowler, Michigan

A geological estimate for the Fowler area.

Detailed Summary

Based on a synthesis of 7 well logs in the greater Fowler region (including adjacent Gratiot, Clinton, and Ionia counties), the most typical stratigraphic sequence includes: an upper surficial layer of topsoil/sand and gravel, followed by thick clay or clay with stones, then a major sand and gravel aquifer zone, and deeper sequences may include more clay, shale and sandstone. Nearly all wells are completed in sand and gravel or, for deeper/high-capacity wells, in sandstone layers. Lithology colors are generally brown or gray, with sand/gravel layers described as unconsolidated and clay relatively stiff to soft. Residential wells (5–15+ GPM) most commonly reach the upper sand/gravel aquifer between 70–100 ft; high capacity or bedrock wells may be deeper (150–245 ft). Static water levels range 10–30 ft for residential, ~72 ft at a single high-capacity site.
