British Columbia Water Well Regulations
Locate local water well information, groundwater resources, aquifers, local well drilling, well drilling costs, water testing, local well pumps, and repair companies. Water well protection resources and Health Link BC water systems information.
WELLS Database BC Water Well Records
The official WELLS Database BC for registered water wells, groundwater, and aquifer data for the province allows public to search for information about an individual water well. Search or upload data to the WELLS Database BC.
The BC Water Resource Atlas and the WELL Database BC user guide provide a detailed explanation of how to locate data for registered water wells.
Registering an existing water well is not a legal requirement, it's done on a voluntary basis, As a result, not all water wells in British Columbia will be located in the database system.
How to Search WELLS Database BC
There are several possible approaches when searching the database for relevant information on an individual water well. Utilize Report #1 or Report #7 if you currently have a Water Well Identification Plate Number or a Well Tag Number.

Water Well Setback Regulations for Fraser Valley
In the Fraser Valley New Wells 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 water wells are drilled deep in the Fraser Valley, many wells may be less than 200' in depth and if located near possible sources of contamination, a well can become contaminated and possibly cause serious illness.
The regulated BC Ministry of Environment water well set-backs are in place to protect water wells from becoming contaminated from many possible sources.
For comparable water well drilling depths in your neighbourhood and Ministry of Environment set-backs, please refer to all local resources, including well drilling reports, Resources are available at British Columbia Water Well Search.
Some potential sources of water well contamination include waste discharge to the ground, such as a privy vault (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, a cemetery or landfill sites.
A water well drilled in the Fraser Valley should be located on higher ground when possible to protect the well head from normal or seasonal flooding and possible surface drainage.
Shallow wells and deep wells in the Fraser Valley may be vulnerable and should always be located away from surface drainage ditches and other potential sources of contamination.
