Well Drillers Near Howell, Michigan

A geological estimate for the Howell area.

Detailed Summary

Subsurface geology in Howell is characterized by alternating layers of clay (often gray or yellow), sand (brown, gray, yellow), and sand/gravel mixtures. These sequences reflect glacial and post-glacial deposition. Water-bearing zones are typically found within sand or sand/gravel at intermediate depths, commonly overlain by significant clay layers that provide regional aquitards. In areas drilled deeper, bedrock is encountered, including shale, sandstone, and limestone. Residential wells often set screens in coarse sand/gravel from about 40–110 ft but some wells extend to 150–180 ft when targeting bedrock aquifers or deeper gravels.
