How Deep Are Wells in Osceola County, MI?

Source and method: Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) Wellogic statewide water-well database (Michigan GIS Open Data), extracted 2026-07-14. Figures include only wells recorded as residential (domestic) use, completed 2011 or later, with a reported depth between 15 and 2,000 ft (to exclude likely data-entry errors). EGLE notes Wellogic is not a complete record of every well in the state (well inclusion before 2000 varies by county) and the driller-submitted reports are not independently verified. These are figures self-reported by licensed drillers to the state; treat this as a planning reference, not a guarantee for any specific property.
