Water Well Development
Well Drilling Methods - Mayne Island
Water Well Efficiency on the Gulf Islands

With any well drilling method on the Gulf Islands, the permeability of the formation around the bore-hole is reduced.

For example, with the cable tool method, compaction and clay smearing occurs.

With the wet rotary-drilling method, fluid infiltrates the aquifer and when reverse circulation is used, water that is loaded-down with fines can often obstruct the formation as a vacuum effect occurs around the well drilling-bit.

Water Well Development

Water well development is demanding and critical for premium quality water well construction to maximize the efficiency of a drilled well by rehabilitating the aquifer after the disruption of the drilling process.

Fine-particles surrounding a well screen must be removed from the area to increase the permeability of the aquifer, with the use-of-air and our unique surge methods Gulf Island Well Drilling can enhance the local water well development procedures! 

Water Well Screen Design & Selection


We understand the significance of well-screen design, careful selection of a well-screen is, without doubt, the most important consideration when constructing an efficient water well!  A properly selected well-screen is designed to serve two basic purposes: to allow the unobstructed entry of clean water free from sediment into the well, and to permit a maximum flow to the formation for water well development procedures.

Water Well Setback Regulations for
the Gulf Islands

New Water Wells on the Gulf Islands Should Not Be:

1)  Within a horizontal distance of 3 m (10') of an existing building.
2)  Within a horizontal distance of 30 m (100') of any probable source of contamination or point of waste discharge to the ground, such as a privy vault, cesspool, septic effluent field, manure heap, stable or pig sty; or
3)  Within a horizontal distance of 120 m (400') of any cemetery or dumping ground.

Not all Gulf Island water wells are deep drilled wells, in fact many wells are less than 200' in depth.  If a well is located near a potential source of contamination it's vulnerable and could easily become contaminated with the possibly of serious illness or in extreme cases even death.

British Columbia Water Well Regulations and the Ministry of Environment set-backs for water wells on the Gulf Islands are required to protect water resources from becoming contaminated from a multitude of possible sources.

To understand comparable well drilling depths on the Gulf Islands, it's best to locate the Ministry of Environment water well resources to locate the local well drilling reports, resources are available at the Water Well Search  BC or the BC Water Resources Atlas.

Possible sources of well contamination include waste discharge to the ground, such as privy vaults (also known as an outhouse or pit toilet), cesspool (“overflow” pits), underground storage tanks, septic tanks an effluent field, stable or pig sty, manure heap, fertilizers and pesticides, runoff from urban areas, even a cemetery or landfill sites.

All Gulf Island water wells should be located on higher ground when possible to protect the well head from normal or seasonal flooding and possible surface drainage.

Either a shallow dug well or a deep drilled well can become vulnerable and should always be located away from surface drainage ditches and other potential sources of contamination.
