Well Drillers Near Tipton, Michigan

A typical residential well in the Tipton area is drilled to approximately 105 feet to ensure a reliable water supply of 5-15+ gallons per minute.

The static water level, or water table, is typically found around 30 feet below the surface in this region.

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.
