Well Drillers Near Ray Twp, Michigan
The representative geological profile for Ray Township, Macomb County, MI, consists of surficial clay (often with some sand or gravel), underlain by thick sequences of gray or mixed clay, grading to glacially derived sands and gravels near the base. Residential wells typically target water-bearing sands or sand-and-gravel layers between ~40–80 ft., but some deeper wells may be constructed depending on local variation or desired supply.

Detailed Summary
Synthesizing multiple well logs from Ray Township and adjacent areas in Macomb County, the region exhibits a predictable glacially derived sequence. The most common layers begin with a thin topsoil, then brown or gray clay, often interbedded with sand, gravel, or stones. Thick continuous clay (sometimes called 'hardpan' or 'gray clay') is typical, with intervals of sand, sand/gravel, or gritty layers indicating aquifer materials. Water is most consistently produced near the base of the clay sequence in sand or sand/gravel intervals, commonly found between 40 and 80 ft. Well construction usually involves PVC or steel casing set through clay and into the upper sand/gravel aquifer. Static water levels are typically within 3–30 ft. of ground surface. Deeper, higher-yield or high-capacity wells may penetrate up to ~180–220 ft. to reach thicker, deeper sand/gravel units where present.
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 2 ft | Topsoil / Brown Clay | Thin surficial soil layer, often brown clay or topsoil. | Color: Brown Hardness: Soft |
| 2 – 20 ft | Clay, occasionally sandy or stony | Dense glacial clay, sometimes interbedded with sand or stones. Occasional isolated sand streaks. | Color: Gray/Brown Hardness: Medium |
| 20 – 60 ft | Gray Clay (massive), intermittent sand, occasional stones | Thick deposit of gray or mixed clay, variable presence of sand/gravel streaks or stones, may include hardpan. | Color: Gray Hardness: Hard |
| 60 – 80 ft | Sand / Sand & Gravel (main aquifer zone) | Water-bearing sand or sand/gravel, often medium to coarse texture, typically producing best residential yields. | Color: Gray/Yellow Hardness: Unconsolidated |
| 80 – 200 ft | Clay with deeper sand/gravel lenses (where present) | Additional thick gray clay with lenses of sand or gravel, especially in deeper wells toward 180–220 ft.; deeper sands represent high-capacity zones. | Color: Gray Hardness: Medium to Hard |
| 200 – 220 ft | Sand & Gravel (deep aquifer, not always present) | Deep, coarse sand and gravel, principal water-bearing unit for large/industrial supply in deepest wells. | Color: Yellow/Gray Hardness: Unconsolidated |
