Flow rate

Not shown 1

The rate the driller recommended running a pump at, written on the well record when the well was constructed. Not a measurement of today's flow. GPM is imperial gallons per minute; LPM is litres per minute.

Well Depth

100 ft

30.5 m

How far down the hole goes, from the surface to the bottom.

Drilled into

Bedrock

solid rock

Whether the hole ends in solid rock or the loose material above it.

Location accuracy

10 - 30 m

how far the map dot could be off

The province's rating of how far the map dot may be from the well.

Year drilled

1989

The year the driller finished the well.

Status of well

Abandoned - not enough water

Well use: Domestic

"Abandoned" is the province's word for a well that is no longer in use. It does not by itself say the hole was filled in. Where plugging was recorded, it shows below and on the scanned record.

Water

Water level	3.0 m (10 ft) below ground How far down the water sits in the well with the pump off, measured from the surface. It can rise and fall with the seasons.
Water found at depth	3 m (10 ft) - Fresh Depths where the driller found water, and the kind of water the driller marked on the form. 'Untested' means the driller did not check what kind of water it was.
Is the well flowing	No If the groundwater level is above the ground surface, water can flow out on its own, without a pump.

The pump test on this record

The driller pumped this well for 1 hour 20 minutes.

A controlled test the driller ran when the well was constructed. These results do not show today's flow.

Water level before pumping	3.0 m (10 ft) below ground How far down the water sat in the well before the test began. The same resting level shown above.
Water level at the end of the test	30.2 m (99 ft) below ground How far down the water stood when the test ended, after the pumping drew it down.
How long the pumping test ran	1 hour 20 minutes How long the test lasted.

Construction

Drilling method	Cable Tool How the hole was made.
Completion	Not recorded How the bottom of the well was finished to let water in.
Surface seal	Not recorded Material around the outside of the casing, near the ground. It helps keep surface water out.
Abandonment plugging	0 - 10 ft (0 - 3 m) Material placed to close the well for good.

Casing is the pipe lining the hole. It keeps the hole open and keeps loose ground and surface water out.

Casing	Depth	Diameter
Not recorded	-	8 in (20 cm)
Not recorded	-	6 in (15 cm)
Not recorded	-	6 in (15 cm)

About the numbers on this page

The provincial record lists a recommended pump rate of 20 GPM and a test rate of 1 GPM for this well's pump test - two rates more than ten times apart - so this page does not show a flow rate.
