Bottom Line Up Front
In I.D. No. 12 Jasper, the median completed well is 83 ft deep.
A published hardness range for this place and aquifer is 12–288 mg/L as CaCO₃. That is a regional estimate, not a test of your well. Source: Estimate based on Alberta Health private well data.
These municipal aggregates support planning only — they do not replace an accredited laboratory potability test for your own well.

Approximate boundary of I.D. No. 12 Jasper
Shaded area is an approximate municipal outline for orientation only. Well records are aggregated across the entire I.D. No. 12 Jasper.
Most completed wells fall near the median depth of 83 ft. Recorded depths cover 53 wells.
Median depth of 83 ft falls inside the reported range. Deeper completions here usually mean higher mineral content but steadier year-round pressure.

Historical permit and construction activity by decade.
84% of dated wells are over 30 years old (pre-1995). Steel casing installed before 1995 can lose integrity over time. Any older well should get a casing inspection and a certified bacterial test before reliance.
