Well Drillers Near Oxford, Michigan

A geological estimate for the Oxford area.

Detailed Summary

Averaging across representative wells from Oxford and adjacent townships, the predominant sequence is initial layers of clay (some with sand or gravel) in the upper 15-30 feet, followed by alternating units of sand & gravel, clay with gravel, and sand & clay mixtures. The most consistent water-bearing zone is a gravel or sand & gravel interval beginning near 70-80 ft, commonly persisting to the bottom of the well (typically 125-135 ft in Oxford). Occasional thicker clay (to 100+ ft) occurs but is less typical. Residential wells are usually completed between 75-135 ft with static water levels of 20-95 ft below grade and yields of 10-30 GPM.
