Bottom Line Up Front
In RM of Bone Creek No. 108, the median completed well is 170 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 15 (about 5% 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 Bone Creek No. 108
Shaded area is an approximate municipal outline for orientation only. Well records are aggregated across the entire RM of Bone Creek No. 108.
Most completed wells fall near the median depth of 170 ft. Recorded depths cover 187 wells.
Median depth of 170 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.
74% 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.
