Detailed Summary

In the Leslie, MI region, water wells most commonly encounter a near-surface sequence of variable clay, gravel, and sand ranging from 20 to 50 feet thick, followed by alternating layers of clay, shale, and consolidated sandstone. The most persistent pattern is: (1) brown to gray clay and/or sand/gravel in the upper ~20–55 feet, (2) a thick sequence of shale occasionally interbedded with sandstone or limestone between ~60–140 feet, and (3) a basal sandstone from approximately 130–190+ feet. Static water levels are consistently found between 15–40 feet below grade. Typical residential wells providing 5–15+ GPM are commonly drilled to 130–190 ft (occasionally deeper for higher yields), with casing set through unconsolidated and upper bedrock zones, and grouted to the base of casing depth.
