Detailed Summary
A generalized subsurface profile for Mt Pleasant, MI consists of a surficial topsoil or silty sand, followed by thick intervals of clay or clay & silt (often brown or gray) alternating with sandier units. The most productive, laterally extensive aquifers are sand or sand & gravel usually found beneath 60–120 feet, sometimes deeper depending on location. Wells frequently encounter several clay/sand alternations before reaching the main water-yielding zone. Residential wells are typically completed to the first major sand or sand & gravel aquifer, while high-capacity wells may be deeper, tapping thicker sand/gravel at 200+ ft. Most wells use rotary drilling with PVC casing, are grouted with bentonite slurry, and are completed with screened intervals in sand/gravel.
