Well Drillers Near Highland, Michigan

A typical residential well in the Highland area is drilled to approximately 90 feet to ensure a reliable water supply of 5-15+ gallons per minute.

The static water level, or water table, is typically found around 35 feet below the surface in this region.

The most representative geological profile for the Highland area consists of a surficial brown/yellow sand or sand with gravel, underlain by alternating layers of clay (gray, blue, or sometimes with stones/silt), and again by water-bearing sand or sand/gravel at depth. Clay layers commonly separate upper and lower sand/gravel zones. Most wells encounter the main water-bearing, high-yield (often 10–20 GPM+) sand or sand/gravel formation beneath 60–100 ft. Residential wells typically target these deeper aquifers, avoiding locally thin surficial sands. A typical residential well depth ranges from 70 to 120 ft, with high-capacity (municipal/irrigation) wells potentially going to 120—180 ft+ if needed by local hydrogeology. The static water level is variable but often between 20 and 65 ft below grade, occasionally artesian.
