Water Wells

You do not need an approval or permit from the County to drill a water well on your land.

Things to consider when drilling a well:

• Alberta Water Well Information Database is maintained by the Groundwater Information Centre.
• Contact Alberta Health Services, at your local Public Health Unit they can provide water sampling. Castor Community Health Centre and the Coronation Community Health Centre
• Private water well owners in Alberta are responsible for managing and maintaining their water wells. The Working Well program provides well owners with the information and tools they need to properly care for their wells.
