Bottom Line Up Front
In Municipality of North Cypress-Langford, the median completed well is 65 ft deep.
A published hardness range for this place and aquifer is under 60 to above 180 mg/L as CaCO₃. That is a regional estimate, not a test of your well. Source: Estimate based on Health Canada hardness bands.
Most production draws from SAND AND GRAVEL (about 96% of local wells).
These municipal aggregates support planning only — they do not replace an accredited laboratory potability test for your own well.

Approximate boundary of Municipality of North Cypress-Langford
Shaded area is an approximate municipal outline for orientation only. Well records are aggregated across the entire Municipality of North Cypress-Langford.
Most completed wells fall near the median depth of 65 ft. Recorded depths cover 1,470 wells.
Median depth of 65 ft falls inside the reported range. Deeper completions here usually mean higher mineral content but steadier year-round pressure.
Bedrock and drift aquifers recorded by drillers in this area.
1,419 of 1,482 Shallow to intermediate glacial drift aquifer deposited in alluvial channels or outwash plains. Yields softer water but requires continuous sediment filtration and shallow bacterial monitoring.
31 of 1,482 Unclassified hydrogeological formation from legacy provincial drill records.
26 of 1,482 Dense, low-permeability clay-rich glacial deposits with localized silt lenses. Serves as a natural confining barrier protecting deeper aquifers from surface contamination.
4 of 1,482 Fractured sedimentary shale formation (including Odanah / Pierre members). Characterized by high total dissolved solids (TDS) and potential sulfur/iron compounds.
1 of 1,482 Major regional bedrock aquifer formed by Ordovician/Silurian dolomite. Known for reliable, high-volume yields with elevated mineral hardness and dissolved calcium/magnesium carbonates.
1 of 1,482 Deep basal sandstone bedrock unit (including Winnipeg Formation). Supplies exceptionally stable yields; often exhibits moderate mineral hardness with silica-rich water.

Historical permit and construction activity by decade.
39% of dated wells are over 30 years old (pre-1995). Steel casing installed before 1995 can lose integrity over time. Any older well should get a casing inspection and a certified bacterial test before reliance.
