Well Drillers Near Skanee, Michigan

Typical Skanee, MI wells penetrate glacial sand, gravel, clay, and boulders for ~10-25 feet, then transition into fractured/fine-grained bedrock—primarily sandstone, sometimes with minor shale or slate at greater depths. Static water levels are generally shallow; residential wells often reach 100-160 ft for reliable yields.

Detailed Summary

Reviewing multiple Skanee (Baraga County, MI) well logs, a consistent geologic pattern emerges: surface layers of mixed sand, gravel, clay, and occasional boulders extend to an average of about 10-25 feet. Below this, moderately to well-cemented sandstone is the primary aquiferic unit and continues to total well depths (commonly 140-180 ft). Occasionally, minor shale, siltstone, or slate is present beneath the main sandstone body at maximum drilled depth. Typical static water levels are between 8 and 35 feet below grade (excluding flowing or anomalously deep/depressed measurements). The most frequent residential well completions (for 5-15+ GPM) fall in the 120-160 ft range, while higher capacity or more conservative installations may be drilled to 180 ft or slightly greater.
