Well Drillers Near Scottville, Michigan

A geological estimate for the Scottville area.

Detailed Summary

Most Scottville area wells penetrate a sequence dominated by surface sand (sometimes mixed with boulders or gravel), underlain by brown or gray clay (sometimes silty or sandy), then one or more thick sand or sand/gravel water-bearing layers, often separated by thinner clay or clayey sand intervals. Coarse or medium sand forms the main aquifer. Typical static water levels are 10-65 ft below grade. Household wells with yields of 10-20+ GPM usually terminate around 60-130 ft, screened in coarse/medium sand. Granitic or stony layers are rare and generally ignored for regional profiling. Rotary mud circulation is the dominant drilling method. Typical casing extends to 90-115 ft, with cement or bentonite grout.
