Summer: Perfect Timing for a Well Extension!

6/22/2016

Living in a rural community, you may have heard a friend or neighbour mention that they’re getting their well upgraded.  You reply with a quick “Right, right. I’ve been thinking about doing that myself…” while in the back of your mind, you’re thinking “Upgraded? Huh? Do I need to do that?”
You promptly go home to google said “well upgrade”, to discover that it is also referred to as a “well extension”.  Here’s what else you found out:

  • Well extensions are a great way to decrease the potential for contamination by surface water
  • You will get to know where your well is located (if currently buried), and can admire its greatness as it will have a welded metal casing that sits about two feet above ground level
  • Only a licenced Well Technician/Well Contractor can safely complete a well upgrade (so, although we can fully relate to the temptation, this probably isn’t a job that you want to roll the dice on with that random guy from kijiji)
  • This job will take only a few hours (for a professional
  • Your well will be banded and tagged, as per Ministry of Environment guidelines
