Well Drillers Near Tipton, Michigan

A geological estimate for the Tipton area.

Detailed Summary

Analysis of the sampled well logs in Tipton and surrounding regions within Lenawee County reveals a consistent sequence: 1) an upper predominantly clay formation between 12 and 70 feet thick, 2) variable lenses of sand, sand & gravel, and clay below, with water-bearing properties generally increasing with depth. The most consistent reported aquifers occur as medium-to-coarse sand and gravel zones typically encountered from around 60–120 feet depth. Typical total well depths are 75 to 120 feet, with residential wells for 10–15+ GPM yields usually set between 85 and 120 feet, screened at the bottommost sand/gravel interval. Static water levels generally fall between 18 and 50 feet below grade. Minor color and texture variations exist, but don't affect the generalized stratigraphy for water supply design.
