Bottom Line Up Front
In Dallas/Red Rose-Northern Affairs Act, the median completed well is 115 ft deep.
A published hardness range for this place and aquifer is under 60 to above 180 mg/L as CaCO₃. That is a regional estimate, not a test of your well. Source: Estimate based on Health Canada hardness bands.
Most production draws from LIMESTONE OR DOLOMITE (about 99% of local wells).
These municipal aggregates support planning only — they do not replace an accredited laboratory potability test for your own well.

Approximate boundary of Dallas/Red Rose-Northern Affairs Act
Shaded area is an approximate municipal outline for orientation only. Well records are aggregated across the entire Dallas/Red Rose-Northern Affairs Act.
Most completed wells fall near the median depth of 115 ft.
Median depth of 115 ft falls inside the reported range. Deeper completions here usually mean higher mineral content but steadier year-round pressure.
Bedrock and drift aquifers recorded by drillers in this area.
385 of 389 Major regional bedrock aquifer formed by Ordovician/Silurian dolomite. Known for reliable, high-volume yields with elevated mineral hardness and dissolved calcium/magnesium carbonates.
2 of 389 Shallow to intermediate glacial drift aquifer deposited in alluvial channels or outwash plains. Yields softer water but requires continuous sediment filtration and shallow bacterial monitoring.
2 of 389 Deep basal sandstone bedrock unit (including Winnipeg Formation). Supplies exceptionally stable yields; often exhibits moderate mineral hardness with silica-rich water.
2 holes found no usable water. test holes, observation or monitoring wells, dewatering wells, decommissioned wells, dry holes, no-aquifer holes, and other non-supply wells filtered out of the headline

Historical permit and construction activity by decade.
82% 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.

Suggested system
Test kit
estimate, confirm with a lab testA test of your own well comes before any equipment. Test for coliform bacteria.
Water testingIron and manganese filter
estimate, confirm with a lab testAn iron filter is worth considering because wells in this place draw from LIMESTONE OR DOLOMITE. This follows the aquifer type. Iron and manganese were not used from a monitoring-well test.

Hard-water guideBecause water wells in Dallas/Red Rose-Northern Affairs Act average 115 ft into limestone or dolomite, contractors equipped with heavy rotary rigs and proper casing seals are recommended. Contact local drillers directly or request competitive bids.
