Drilling the Well Summer 2007



Once we had the septic perked to see where it had to be located we were able to get the well drilled.  On the hottest two days that summer, our well drillers worked away finally getting an excellent flow of water (15 gallons/minute) at a depth of 312 feet.  The first 120 feet was made of the glacial remains, mostly the cobbles that give Cobble Hill it's name.  The final 200 feet,  was solid limestone which is in the same band as the one that runs through Butchart Gardens and the old Bamberton cement works.
