Well Drillers Near Montague, Michigan

A geological estimate for the Montague area.

Detailed Summary

Averaging sampled wells in and near Montague, the subsurface is dominated by thick sand sequences interbedded with clay, with water-bearing sand/gravel typically found at intermediate depths (30–80 ft). The most consistent pattern is thin surficial sand, followed by alternating clay and sand units. Wells for residential use are most commonly completed between 45–75 feet to access continuous, clean, water-bearing sand or sand/gravel. Deeper wells encounter a thicker clay section followed by more sand at greater depth, particularly toward 100+ feet. Static water levels are frequently 15–45 feet below grade. The most consistent successful well construction method is rotary drilling with bentonite or cement grout to at least 40–50 ft. Estimated residential yields are typically 10–20+ GPM at these depths.
