MUNICIPALITY OF NORTH CYPRESS-LANGFORD Water Well Depth & Hydrogeology
Regional groundwater summary • GWDrill Historical Log Extraction
Bottom Line Up Front
In MUNICIPALITY OF NORTH CYPRESS-LANGFORD the median well is 69 feet deep and draws from Sand and Gravel Aquifer bedrock, which supplies 86.4% of wells here. Water is very hard at about 227 mg/L, so a softener is standard equipment. Rotary drilling is routine and 48.3% of wells serve ordinary household use. Treatment emphasis: sediment turbidity, localized iron/manganese. Unconsolidated sediments demand particulate intrusion monitoring.

Where This Report Applies
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.
Depth Distribution
Most completed wells fall near the median depth of 69 ft.
Median depth of 69 ft falls inside the reported range. Deeper completions here usually mean higher mineral content but steadier year-round pressure.
Aquifer Composition
Bedrock and drift aquifers recorded by drillers in this area.
2,148 wells 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.
165 wells Unclassified hydrogeological formation from legacy provincial drill records.
32 wells Low-permeability clay-rich glacial deposits with localized sand lenses. Often slow recharge.
21 wells Fractured Cretaceous shale formation prominent in western Manitoba. Characterized by high total dissolved solids (TDS) and potential sulfur/iron compounds.
1 wells Deep basal sandstone bedrock unit. Supplies exceptionally stable yields; often exhibits moderate mineral hardness with silica-rich water.

Present Mineral Risk
- Scale build-up in kettles, heaters and fixtures
- Dissolved iron and manganese staining
- Elevated calcium and magnesium from Sand and Gravel Aquifer bedrock
Test before purchasing treatment. Hardness varies well to well within the same quarter section.
Size custom treatment system for this waterDrilling Activity
Historical permit and construction activity by decade.
42% of wells are over 30 years old. Steel casing installed before 1995 can lose integrity, so any older well should get a casing inspection and a bacterial test before you rely on it.
Data-Driven Prescription
The treatment system this water needs
Generated from 227 mg/L hardness, sand and gravel aquifer and a 69 ft median completion depth, for a four-person household. Adjust the assumptions in the builder.
