Inside Michigan’s public well records
More than 575,000 spatially verified records are published; pre-2000 coverage varies by county.
These are retrieved public records, shown so you can see the identifiers, available values and gaps before running your own lookup. They are regional examples, not a statewide sample or a prediction for a property.
| Public record ID | Published locality | Published use / type | Status / location quality | Recorded depth | Reported rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 41000045306 | Kent | OTH | ACT018 | 301 ft | 500 GPM |
| 41000047067 | Kent | HOSHLD | ACT018 | 36 ft | 30 GPM |
| 41000034120 | Kent | OTH | ACT016 | 27 ft | 40 GPM |
Depths are converted from the lookup’s normalized meters to feet. Reported rate can represent yield, a pump-test rate or pump capacity depending on the source; these values are historical and are not interchangeable. A source zero can be a placeholder or a reported result: verify its meaning in the original file. “Not reported” means no comparable value was retained, not zero and not proof that the original file lacks all information.
How to verify a Michigan record
Compare the Wellogic well ID, permit and construction date. Static water level and test rate have their own quality flags; casing and screen intervals help distinguish otherwise nearby records.
Open Michigan Wellogic Wells ↗ and search for the identifiers above. Compare the original filing, location method and well type with seller documents and a physical well identifier.
Review method: up to three distinct public identifiers selected in returned distance order from an existing regional lookup, without selecting for an attractive depth or yield. Re-run the example lookup ↗ · How these reviews are prepared
Michigan Wellogic Wells
Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy
More than 575,000 spatially verified records are published; pre-2000 coverage varies by county.
What you can find in Michigan well records
Available fields vary by individual filing, but the Michigan integration can surface:
- well depth
- construction date
- static water level
- well status
- well type
- drilling method
- casing
- screen interval
- test rate
- grout
- specific capacity
How to search the Michigan well map and read a well log
- Enter the full property address above to locate the property and open nearby mapped records.
- Compare record identifiers, well type, completion date and distance before deciding which wells are relevant.
- Open the public source below to trace an original well log or completion report where the agency publishes one. A mapped summary may omit details from that document.
- Verify the actual property well with the seller, record identifiers and an on-site inspection; nearby records alone cannot identify it.
How to use the record before buying a property
Wellogic's structured construction and test fields make Michigan useful for address-first well research and nearby-well comparisons.
Start with the address search, compare the closest records and their distances, then open the public source before treating a record as the subject property's well. If water quality or current performance matters, use current testing and an on-site well inspection.
Michigan coverage limitation
Michigan publishes a large spatially verified Wellogic dataset, but older coverage varies by county and individual records can still be incomplete.
Public Michigan source
WellLookup is independent of Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy. The underlying public source is Michigan Wellogic Wells. WellLookup adds address search, nearby-record comparison and property-focused reporting; it preserves the published source values.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Enter a street address and WellLookup will search nearby mapped records from the supported Michigan source.
Not necessarily. Location precision varies, so verify identifiers, documents and the physical well before relying on the match.
The $29.99 USD property report organizes the available evidence, nearby comparisons, source limitations and follow-up questions into one PDF.
