Well Drillers Near South Haven, Michigan
Typical wells in the South Haven area encounter a sequence of sand and clay, with water-bearing sands most commonly present below about 25–45 feet and deeper major sand aquifers generally below 100–120 feet. The most common sequence is surficial sand, underlain by varying clay thickness, then thick sand formations. Wells with 5–15+ GPM yields are typically screened in the upper sand aquifer at depths of 40–60 feet.

Detailed Summary
Analysis of well logs from South Haven shows a consistent geological profile characterized by surficial sands (occasionally mixed with silt or fill), followed by a prominent clay or clay-sand layer typically ranging from about 20–44 feet thick. Beneath the clay, a major sand aquifer is present, often in multiple intervals, with water-bearing characteristics most reliable below 40 feet. In many wells, continuous sand extends to 100 feet or deeper. Wells for residential use (5–15 GPM) are usually completed 40–60 feet deep, with water reported at static levels of 14–29 feet below ground. Deeper, high-capacity wells (up to 150+ feet) tap extensive deeper sand formations. The prevailing well construction is rotary drilling with PVC casing, bentonite slurry grout, and a slotted screen set just above and into the major sand aquifer.
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 8 ft | Sand (Surficial, may include fill/topsoil) | Brown or mixed sand, loose to fine, with some silt or topsoil cap | Color: Brown Hardness: Loose |
| 8 – 30 ft | Clay (with possible thin sand layers) | Brown or gray clay, mostly dense, sometimes with intermixed silt/sand | Color: Brown/Gray Hardness: Firm |
| 30 – 44 ft | Sand and Clay mix | Transition layer, varying proportions of fine sand and clay, may be silty, occasional thin sand lenses | Color: Mixed Hardness: Firm to medium |
| 44 – 115 ft | Sand (Major Aquifer) | Clean, water-bearing sand, commonly medium to coarse, some screened wells set in this interval | Color: Brown to gray Hardness: Loose to moderate |
| 115 – 163 ft | Sand (Deeper Aquifer, not in all wells) | Very thick sand interval in deepest wells, consistent water production, locally extending to refusal or bedrock | Color: Brown/Gray Hardness: Loose |
