What should I do if my well quits working?
The best thing you can do is shut the power off to the pump until the problem is fixed. Do not pull the pump out since the problem may not be with the pump itself. You can call us to diagnose and repair your system.
How do I know where a new well should be drilled?
When selecting a new drill site, setbacks need to be considered such as septic fields (50 m), fuel tanks(50 m), natural water courses (100 m), property lines(7.3 m rural) and very importantly adequate distance from other wells.
How much water do I need?
Alberta law states that a landowner can use no more than 750 gallons per day without having to licence their water well. This is an average output of a well over a 24 hour period at a half gallon per minute. Generally most households use less than 200 gallons per day.
