Well records provide construction information, along with general quantity and quality information about the well’s water supply. Records are used by government, consultants, contractors and well owners to:
- learn about the well-water supply (groundwater) and geology of an area (including water quality and quantity issues)
- manage groundwater resources
- locate existing wells
For a water supply well, a well record must be submitted to the Ministry of the Environment when:
- a new well is constructed
- an existing well is altered (unless it is a minor alteration or pump installation)
- an existing well is abandoned (sealed and plugged)
