Timely topic. Hoping to drill mine in the next year so I've been researching well records of my neighbors. Pretty much all the same:
3 ft of sand, 100 ft of clay then sand and gravel.
Wells all around 120-150 ft deep with static water levels at about 60 ft down.
Test pumping is done at about 75 ft with flows of between 7-12 gpm.
We're in the Michigan "Thumb" area about 2 miles from 20% of the world's fresh water supply (Great Lakes). What's interesting is that farther north of us along the tip of the "Thumb" there are beach-front properties that can't hit water at all by drilling. They've got to truck in potable water. I've seen them run pipes into Lake Huron for their non-drinking use. My FIL bought a Lake Huron home that has a shallow (25'?) well point on the beach itself. It gets the cleanest, best tasting water I've ever had for well water here in Michigan. It's grandfathered in, but illegal to put one in today.
