In an effort to provide valuable information to residents, the MD has brought back their Working Well Workshop by popular demand.  The previous workshops filled up fast so be sure to RSVP ASAP.

IMPORTANT: Register by January 30 with your Legal Land Description or your Lot/Block/Plan#, Date of Well Completion, and Original Owner or Depth of Well, so that you can receive all the information for your well from provincial records to be used in the workshop.
  • Did you know that a poorly maintained water well can put your water supply at risk of contamination and reduce your well yield?
  • Have you had your well water tested in the last two years?
  • Have old unused wells on your property been properly sealed and decommissioned? Have you ever shock chlorinated your well?
  • Do you know the age and depth of your well, or how it was constructed?
Find out if your groundwater is at risk and learn what you can do to protect your well, attend this free water well management workshop hosted by MD of Foothills, and presented by the Working Well Program, with technical expertise from Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Alberta Environment and Parks, Alberta Health Services and licensed water well drillers. This hands-on, informative workshop is designed to help water well owners better understand and manage their precious groundwater supplies.
