Well Drillers Near Kaleva, Michigan

The typical Kaleva area well penetrates alternating sandy and clay-rich glacial deposits, with water-bearing sand or sand/gravel layers generally found between about 50 and 130 feet. Shallower wells may achieve residential yields in thick sand units from 20–80 feet, while deeper high-capacity wells target lower fine to medium sands to depths beyond 120 feet.

Detailed Summary

Analysis of well logs for the Kaleva region indicates a representative geological profile characterized by an upper sequence of sands (often fine, sometimes grading to coarse or containing gravel), interbedded with clay and clayey sand. The most frequent lower aquifers are found as thick sand or sand/gravel beds, typically encountered between 50 and 130 feet deep, occasionally deeper. Shallower wells (20–50 ft) can suffice where thick sand predominates at shallow depths, but most residential wells are completed between 60 and 130 ft to ensure sufficient yield and protection from surface contamination. Outliers with extreme depths or unusually thick clay were discarded from the average profile.
