Detailed Summary
A representative subsurface geological profile in the Newaygo area consists of surficial silt or sand, underlain by several thick alternating clay and sand/gravel layers. Blue/gray and red/brown clay are commonly encountered from about 10 to 45 ft, usually overlain and/or underlain by silt/sand or gravel. The most persistent aquifer is found in coarse sand or sand/gravel beginning near 70-75 ft and extending downward, often to 120 ft. Most residential wells are completed within or just above this water-bearing sand/gravel. Static water levels tend to average 5-40 ft below grade. Rotary mud drilling (occasionally cable tool) and PVC casing are standard, with cement/bentonite grout to 60-150 ft. High-capacity wells may drill to 110-120 ft or deeper.
