Well Drillers Near Perry, Michigan

A typical residential well in the Perry area is drilled to approximately 140 feet to ensure a reliable water supply of 5-15+ gallons per minute.

The static water level, or water table, is typically found around 30 feet below the surface in this region.

Based on synthesized data from several nearby wells, the most representative profile for Perry and its region begins with brown/yellow clay and occasional gravel to ~15-25 ft, followed by interbedded fine to coarse sand and gravel with mixed clays extending to approximately 85-110 ft. Beneath is a variable sequence of clay with stones, silty or gravely clays (often reaching around 150-180 ft). The most consistent bedrock contact appears as black and gray shale starting near 100-175 ft, often quickly interbedded with gray/white sandstone that may become fully dominant at greater depths. The consolidated sandstone and shale beds continue to the bottom of most logs, with water yields generally best in the lower sandy/sandstone units. Static water levels are typically 20-45 ft below grade, depending on surficial geology and proximity to recharge. Residential wells with 5–15+ GPM capacity commonly finish at 100-160 ft, generally at or just below the first persistent coarse sand/gravel or shallow bedrock sandstone.
