New Water Wells
This project builds up to five new groundwater supply wells. The new wells will provide drinking water. We anticipate locating the new wells in Red Deer County, near the Summer Village of Jarvis Bay.
Why
Sylvan Lake is growing
We need more water within 5 years to meet demand
The new wells will supply the north reservoir
How
Survey any residents (within 1.6 Km of the new well locations) about existing groundwater supply wells.
Because the new well locations are near Jarvis Bay and Red Deer County residents, we are making sure there are no negative impacts
Gather information to choose new well locations
Well drilling and testing
Apply for a Provincial Water Act License
Construction: Design and build the new wells. Connect them to the Town’s north reservoir
Who
We found that the Jarvis Bay and Red Deer County has privately owned and operated wells
We asked nearby residents to help us identify existing wells through a survey
The survey results help us understand the local groundwater system
Contractor
We hired ISL Engineering and Land Services (ISL) to:
Help us identify new well locations
Assist and supervise well drilling, installation, and connection to the Town water system
