Well Drillers Near Irons, Michigan

A geological estimate for the Irons area.

Detailed Summary

Synthesis of well log data from the Irons, MI region indicates a largely unconsolidated glacial geology dominated by interbedded sand, gravel, and occasional clay layers. The most consistent sequence is upper sand or sand/gravel, possibly with minor silt/clay, transitioning to deeper, more persistent sand and gravel aquifers. Clay, when present, is a thin confining or interbedded layer, not a regional aquitard. Most wells target the deeper sand/gravel zone for reliable residential yields (typically 10+ GPM), with final well depths and screens set 70–85 ft below grade. Static water levels are generally between 18–45 ft below grade. Rotary or cable tool methods are common, with 4–5 in. casing and bentonite/cement grout to depths of 36–72 ft.
