Well Drillers Near Hale, Michigan

The typical geology in the Hale region is a sequence of surficial sand or sand/gravel, underlain by significant clay or clay/sand mixtures, and with a thick, persistent sand or sand & gravel aquifer beginning between 30–50 ft and continuing to total well depths of 80–105 ft. Residential wells commonly target the lower sand or sand & gravel aquifer for yields of 10–15+ GPM.

Detailed Summary

Analysis of well logs from across the Hale area indicates the typical stratigraphy is as follows: a surface layer of sand or mixed sand and gravel (5–10 ft thick), underlain by a major clay layer (20–45 ft thick, occasionally interbedded with thin sand or sand/clay). Beneath the clay, a persistent and water-bearing sand or sand and gravel aquifer is present, beginning generally from about 30–45 ft depth and extending to the base of wells at ~80–105 ft. The most common reported formations (in order from surface) are: surficial sand/gravel, clay, thick lower aquifer of sand or sand/gravel. Thin additional clay or silt layers may occur locally but do not represent the regional average. Most residential wells are completed at 80–105 ft to maximize yield, with static water levels typically 10–45 ft below grade, and drawdown tests support 10–15+ GPM yields. Rotary drilling with PVC casing and bentonite-based grout is standard.
