What's a permit. :shades::)
What's a permit. :shades::)
Well drilling does not require a permit generally speaking. Usually all that is required is for the driller to file a well record with the province showing the construction details and showing that regulatory construction standards were met.Quote:

The permit taking requirements also apply to taking surface water and are an aggregate i.e. all water taking (surface and groundwater) combined on any given property must be less than the volume caps to avoid the requirement for a permit.
Whether there are structures or not, existing wells, whatever does not matter. If you have the cash there is generally nothing stopping you from dropping in 10 wells if you are so inclined

Your well was drilled by a licensed well installer, and a record was filed in accordance with R.R.O. 1990 Reg. 903. These are filed with the province, however, recently many Municipalities have required the record to be filed with their building Dept. under the SWPA.
"16.3 (1) On completion of a well’s structural stage, the person constructing the well shall,
(a) complete, in accordance with the instructions on the form, a well record for the well;
(b) deliver a copy of the well record to the well purchaser and the owner of the land on which the well is situated within 14 days after the date on which the well’s structural stage is complete;
(c) forward a copy of the well record to the Director within 30 days after the date on which the well’s structural stage is complete; and
(d) retain a copy of the well record for two years. O. Reg. 372/07, s. 17."
Nothing was required on my part from my township, if it was the driller never mentioned it, drilled my well, paid him and he left. Actually my neighbor in town (just outside of town) just had a well drilled last year, just spoke to him last night about it. Same deal, called driller, came drilled capped it and left.Quote:

If there is a well record on file then you can bet it was done legally, nobody would drill and file without covering their butt by doing what is required by law.Quote:
