PINE DOCK-NORTHERN AFFAIRS ACT Water Well Depth & Hydrogeology
Regional groundwater summary • GWDrill Historical Log Extraction
Bottom Line Up Front
In PINE DOCK-NORTHERN AFFAIRS ACT the median well is 100 feet deep and draws from Winnipeg Sandstone Aquifer bedrock, which supplies 92.3% of wells here. Water is hard at about 159 mg/L, so a softener is standard equipment. Rotary drilling is routine and 97.9% of wells serve ordinary household use. Treatment emphasis: dissolved silica, moderate mineral depth. Porous sandstone favors silica-rich mineral movement.

Where This Report Applies
Approximate boundary of PINE DOCK-NORTHERN AFFAIRS ACT
Shaded area is an approximate municipal outline for orientation only. Well records are aggregated across the entire PINE DOCK-NORTHERN AFFAIRS ACT.
Depth Distribution
Most completed wells fall near the median depth of 100 ft.
Median depth of 100 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.
48 wells Deep basal sandstone bedrock unit. Supplies exceptionally stable yields; often exhibits moderate mineral hardness with silica-rich water.
3 wells Unclassified hydrogeological formation from legacy provincial drill records.
1 wells Major regional bedrock aquifer formed by Ordovician/Silurian dolomite. Known for reliable, high-volume yields with elevated mineral hardness and dissolved calcium/magnesium carbonates.

Present Mineral Risk
- Scale build-up in kettles, heaters and fixtures
- Dissolved iron and manganese staining
- Elevated calcium and magnesium from Winnipeg Sandstone 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.
69% 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 159 mg/L hardness, winnipeg sandstone aquifer and a 100 ft median completion depth, for a four-person household. Adjust the assumptions in the builder.
