Well Drillers Near Kalamazoo, Michigan

A geological estimate for the Kalamazoo area.

Detailed Summary

Based on synthesis of well logs from across the Kalamazoo region, the most representative well begins with topsoil or fill, followed by alternating clay (often blue/gray or brown) and sandy or gravelly layers. Coarse sand and sand & gravel units commonly form the main aquifers, typically occurring below significant thicknesses of fine sand or clay. The static water level is usually found well above the primary producing zone. Typical residential wells are cased to near the aquifer and screened in coarse, water-bearing sand or sand/gravel. High-capacity wells would extend to the lower sand & gravel aquifers.
