All Landowners are Eligible
Please call (306)-783-1696 before October 31, 2025 to sign up.
Old, abandoned wells are a threat of contamination to our groundwater
aquifers and a safety concern to landowners.
The AWSA has been decommissioning wells since 2009 and have sealed
more wells in our watershed than the rest of the province combined!
If you have an old, large diameter well on your property, contact the
AWSA to arrange for its proper decommissioning.
Groundwater is a critical resource in the Assiniboine River Watershed because approximately 99% of our residents rely on groundwater for their drinking water. Protection of our aquifers is paramount, and one of the best practices to ensure safe source waters throughout our watershed is the decommissioning of abandoned wells.
Over the years, many wells on properties become abandoned without being properly decommissioned. These abandoned wells
are a hazard to groundwater and a liability for property owners. Decommissioning your abandoned wells can increase your property value!
The AWSA has experienced contractors that will decommission your well according to the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency standards. Best of all, we take care of and coordinated every step of the process, and in most cases, it only costs the landowner $300 per well!
