Village of St. Pierre-Jolys Well Depths & Groundwater Data (100 Wells)

Bottom Line Up Front

In VILLAGE OF ST. PIERRE-JOLYS the median well is 338 feet deep and draws from Carbonate Rock (Limestone/Dolomite) bedrock, which supplies 56% of wells here. Water is very hard at about 342 mg/L, so a softener is standard equipment. Rotary drilling is routine and 97.5% of wells serve ordinary household use. Treatment emphasis: scale buildup, calcium/magnesium hardness. Carbonate chemistry creates persistent calcite scaling.

Median depth of 338 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 Rock (Limestone/Dolomite) 56%

56 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.

Undifferentiated Aquifer 39%

39 wells Unclassified hydrogeological formation from legacy provincial drill records.

Sand & Gravel Aquifer 3%

3 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.

Winnipeg Sandstone Aquifer 1%

1 wells Deep basal sandstone bedrock unit. Supplies exceptionally stable yields; often exhibits moderate mineral hardness with silica-rich water.

Odanah / Pierre Shale 1%

1 wells Fractured Cretaceous shale formation prominent in western Manitoba. Characterized by high total dissolved solids (TDS) and potential sulfur/iron compounds.
