Detailed Summary

Based on review of multiple well logs across the Owosso, MI area, the most common geological sequence begins with alternating clay, sand, and occasional gravel zones in the upper 30–70 ft, followed by thicker zones of clay and/or shale. In deeper wells, sandstone and shale layers are present below 70–110 ft, with minor local variations. A typical residential well is constructed to intercept the sand/gravel aquifer at 70 to 120 ft, where yields of 10–20 GPM are common. High-capacity wells extend into deeper sandstones or sand/shale layers. The static water level is typically 15–25 ft below grade. The prevalent drilling method is rotary with bentonite slurry grouting to casing depth.
