PAGE 13. 1 DAVIDSON WELL DRILLING LTD “SERVING ONTARIO SINCE 1900" North St. W., Wingham 357-1960 115 Randall Dr., Waterloo 886-2761 A good water supply will top your list of priorities if you don't live in an area that supplies city water to its customers. Presently, safe water is a major concern as good water is essential to one's health. A well may be dug, bored, drilled or driven, depending on the geology of the area and the depth at which the water-bearing formation is found. As part of the construction, all or part of the well is cased. This involves lining the sides of the well with a material that will prevent the open hole from collapsing and prevent surface water from moving into the well. Following completion the well will be capped in a secure manner Digging a well was the usual method of construction before the development of motor-driven boring or drilling machines. Dug wells are used in areas where a dependable supply of ground water exists at shallow depths. Because dug wells usually penetrate the water-bearing formation for a short distance many of them dry up when the watertable drops. As a result, many old dug wells are being replaced by deeper more reliable drilled and bored wells. DAVIDSON WELL DRILLING LTD. is directed by DOUG DAVIDSON who is assisted by a staff of 14 who are all well qualified in their field They now have 18 trucks to serve your needs. Water demands for a summer cottage will differ from that of a fully equipped family farm home or a single family country home. Water requirements have increased considerably in the modern household and farm. Automatic clothes and dishwashers and automated farm equipment increase demand. A proper well - passed by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment is a most valuable asset - a must - for the consumer when a new water supply is necessary. DAVIDSON WELL DRILLING LTD. are licenced by the Ministry of Environment and are members of Ontario Water Well Association, Canadian Water Well Association. Need a well? Call the above phone numbers.
