Detailed Summary

Based on sampled well logs from Grandville and surrounding area, the most consistent geological profile begins with a thin topsoil or clay layer, followed by interbedded sand and clay, occasionally transitioning to gravelly or sandy units at depth. Deeper wells commonly encounter shale, limestone, or sandstone as a deeper aquifer zone. Most residential wells are screened in water-bearing sand or sand/gravel units within the upper 30–60 ft or as deep as 120–150 ft in older or more rural areas. Deeper high-capacity wells may extend to 150–230 ft and terminate in sandstone or mixed sandstones and shale.
