If you are searching for a water well drilling report for a water system in the Duncan area that does not have a registered well, it's possible that the well log is on file and available from the well driller responsible for installing the water well.

Search the WELLS Database for Duncan by the property address, Well ID Plate Number, Well Tag Number, PID - Number, Parcel, etc. The well tag # may be attached to the well head or, less likely, posted near the pump-house area, it is possible to search by street name or other search parameters that fit the required WELLS Database BC criteria.
Sometimes a well, typically an older one, may not seem searchable by any of the above but you may be able to track a neighbouring property and locate the well log that you are searching for by identifying the parcel that may have a blue dot indicating water well located on a subject parcel. Don't give up if it looks like there's not a water well record available for a specific well Sometimes it just takes a bit of searching, even old wells drilled back into the 50s and 60s can often be located.
It is important to note that although the information regarding the depth and construction of a well on the drilling report may be accurate, it is possible for the well's output to vary seasonally or decrease over time. In some cases, there may also be an increase in the well's output after it is drilled. If you are planning to purchase real estate with a water well in the Cowichan Valley, it would be very wise to rely on more than just the drilling report.
The cost of drilling a well on Vancouver Island in 2024 is at an all-time high, if you unexpectedly purchase real estate with a water well that goes dry you may suddenly find yourself saddled with a significant financial burden!
