I have some property in central Michigan. I have a half mile frontage on a small river. About 300 yards to the east, there’s another smaller creek. The water table between them is pretty high but the ground is pretty solid. I put some posts in this weekend and hit water at 2 feet. The ground is mostly sandy gravel. I’ve never seen clay up there. Is it likely that a sand point well would find cleaner water than the river? Is it worth it to do a well to try to get cleaner water, or is it probably just the same water that’s in the river?
