Wells are a challenge in the city. Most companies would not drill a well within the city. Out in the country people have wells or cisterns. The problem there is that fracking has contaminated most of the aquifers that people tap into with their water wells. Municipal water sources are what most people depend on and that is the problem. For us, we collect rain water, but even then we have to be careful. With the recent fires in BC, the rain water ended up being contaminated and is black in colour. We dumped 500 + gallons of water as it was not safe to drink.
