Bottom Line Up Front
In RM of Blucher No. 343, the median completed well is 68 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 10 (about 14% 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 RM of Blucher No. 343
Shaded area is an approximate municipal outline for orientation only. Well records are aggregated across the entire RM of Blucher No. 343.
Most completed wells fall near the median depth of 68 ft. Recorded depths cover 435 wells.
Median depth of 68 ft falls inside the reported range. Deeper completions here usually mean higher mineral content but steadier year-round pressure.

Water in a provincial observation well isn't necessarily representative of nearby private wells.
Historical permit and construction activity by decade.
64% 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 testManganese above the aesthetic objective, consider an iron/manganese filter. One monitoring well near this place has median iron of 6.3 mg/L and median manganese of 0.265 mg/L. Another has median iron of 0.85 mg/L and median manganese of 0.69 mg/L. Another has median iron of 14.45 mg/L and median manganese of 0.285 mg/L.
