Well Drillers Near Fowlerville, Michigan

A geological estimate for the Fowlerville area.

Detailed Summary

In Fowlerville and surrounding areas, well logs consistently reveal a surficial clay (often silty or sandy) layer from ground surface to about 35-55 ft. Below this is typically a saturated interval of sand, sand/gravel, or gravel (sometimes multiple thin beds), ranging between 8 and 30 ft thick. Beneath these unconsolidated aquifers, more clay is often present before transitioning to bedrock—commonly shale or sandstone—found between 80 and 130 ft. The most productive water-bearing zones are often the sand/gravel beds above the shale or sandstone, where screens are regularly set. Typical static water levels are 15-30 ft below grade. Standard wells serving homes (5-15+ GPM) are usually completed between 65-120 ft.
