Bottom Line Up Front

In Town of Beausejour, the median completed well is 100 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 LIMESTONE OR DOLOMITE (about 69% of local wells).

These municipal aggregates support planning only — they do not replace an accredited laboratory potability test for your own well.

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.

Carbonate Bedrock (Limestone / Dolomite) Primary Bedrock Aquifer
69.4%

34 of 49 Major regional bedrock aquifer formed by Ordovician/Silurian dolomite. Known for reliable, high-volume yields with elevated mineral hardness and dissolved calcium/magnesium carbonates.

Sand & Gravel Aquifer Glacial Drift Aquifer
26.5%

13 of 49 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.

Undifferentiated Aquifer Regional Formation
4.1%

2 of 49 Unclassified hydrogeological formation from legacy provincial drill records.

What this is not

  • Not a laboratory result for a well on your property.
  • Not a reason to size a softener. Size equipment from a lab test.
  • Not a drilling quote. A cost line on this page is a national estimate, not a price for one well.

Health Canada has not set a maximum acceptable concentration for hardness. A wide published range can sit in more than one USGS band.

58% 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.

2

Iron and manganese filter

estimate, confirm with a lab test

An iron filter is worth considering because wells in this place draw from LIMESTONE OR DOLOMITE. This follows the aquifer type. Iron and manganese were not used from a monitoring-well test.

Water softener

estimate, confirm with a lab test

Some wells nearby test above 120 mg/L, a softener may help, confirm with a lab test. 41 wells test above 180 mg/L.
