Well Drillers Near Leonard, Michigan

The typical stratigraphy for Leonard and nearby regions is a sequence of surficial sand and gravel, thick interbedded clay or clay-rich materials, often with deeper water-bearing sands or gravels, and possible thin zones of boulders or hardpan. Most residential wells target sand/gravel aquifers between 70–150 ft, with static water levels generally 30–60 ft below grade.

Detailed Summary

Based on analysis of sampled well logs, the subsurface geology around Leonard is commonly: (0–1 ft) topsoil, (1–40 ft) sand/gravel or sandy clay, (40–110 ft) predominantly clay with interbeds of sand, gravel, or clay/gravel mixtures, transitioning at depth (110–200 ft) to sandy/gravelly aquifers that provide the primary water supply. The most typical residential wells are completed at 120–150 ft, with high capacity/large residential yields possible to 180–200 ft. Static water levels are most commonly 30–60 ft. Nearly all wells use rotary mud drilling, 5 in. PVC casing to nearly total depth, and bentonite slurry grout.
