Detailed Summary

A representative geological cross-section for the Northville region, based on multiple sampled well logs, consists of a thin upper sand/sand & gravel unit, underlain by a blue hard clay, followed by a thick yellow sand and gravel sequence, with the main water-yielding aquifer found in coarse gravel from approximately 47 to 60 feet. Minor clay lenses may be present within the sand and gravel. Typical residential wells are screened at 56–60 feet to yield 10–20+ GPM. Static water levels commonly fall in the 10–20 ft below-grade range. Rotary drilling with mud circulation is standard; bentonite grout seals casing to near the screen depth.
