Well Drillers Near Sand Lake, Michigan

The representative geological profile for the Sand Lake area consists of alternating layers of sand/gravel and clay, with sand/gravel units generally serving as water-bearing zones and clays acting as confining layers. Residential wells typically reach water-bearing sand/gravel by 40-60 ft., but some require deeper drilling to over 100 ft. for sufficient yield.

Detailed Summary

Analysis of well logs from the Sand Lake region indicates that most wells encounter an upper sand or sand and clay mix from the surface down to approximately 15-20 ft. This is often followed by a significant clay or clay with silt layer extending to 40-60 ft. Below this, water-bearing sand and gravel is common, extending variably to 50-100+ ft., with intermittent clay lenses. In deeper wells (over 100 ft.), an additional thick clay layer is present between upper and lower sand zones. Typical static water levels range from 18-42 ft. below grade. Rotary mud circulation is most common for recent installations. The standard residential well reaches 50-80 ft. for a reliable 10-15 GPM, while high-capacity wells may target deeper (up to 200 ft.) sand/gravel zones for greater yield.
