Description

In August of 1974, Alberta Environment conducted groundwater exploration at Peerless Lake Settlement in order to develop potable groundwater sources for the area residents. Ten bored wells were constructed, each of which produces adequate quantities of groundwater for domestic needs. Water quality s acceptable, although iron concentrations somewhat exceed recommended limits. High static levels are present at several wells. These wells may be prone to freezing in winter and may require insulation to maintain year-round operation.
