RM of Round Hill No. 467 Water Well Depth & Hydrogeology
Regional groundwater summary • GWDrill Historical Log Extraction
Bottom Line Up Front
In RM of Round Hill No. 467 the median well is 60 feet deep and draws from Sand & Gravel Drift bedrock, which supplies 77.9% of wells here. Water is very hard at about 325 mg/L, so a softener is standard equipment. Rotary drilling is routine and 94% 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 RM of Round Hill No. 467
Shaded area is an approximate municipal outline for orientation only. Well records are aggregated across the entire RM of Round Hill No. 467.
Depth Distribution
Most completed wells fall near the median depth of 60 ft.
Median depth of 60 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.
271 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.
42 wells Low-permeability clay-rich glacial deposits with localized sand lenses. Often slow recharge.
24 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.
10 wells Unclassified hydrogeological formation from legacy provincial drill records.

Present Mineral Risk
- Scale build-up in kettles, heaters and fixtures
- Dissolved iron and manganese staining
- Elevated calcium and magnesium from Sand & Gravel Drift 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.
63% 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 325 mg/L hardness, sand & gravel drift and a 60 ft median completion depth, for a four-person household. Adjust the assumptions in the builder.

Sediment Prefilter
SpringWell Whole-House Spin-Down Sediment Filter
Sand & Gravel Drift aquifers carry fine sand and turbidity that destroys softener resin and UV lamp clarity.
