Benefits of Owning Your Own Water Supply

Wolverine Drilling Inc. receives many calls from clients who are currently hauling water or who are looking at purchasing a property that requires hauling water to the property. Most customers are trying to understand all the benefits of owning your own water supply. 

 Costs to haul water can vary depending on your water needs, however, one can expect that the basic cost, including truck and tank, insurance and pump, will run you approximately $200 per month plus $20 per 1000 gal is often the going rate for water across much of Saskatchewan. 

 While there are initial costs to drill a well for your property the residual benefits of owning your own water supply far outweigh the hassles and time spent actually hauling the water overtime during winter, harvest and calving seasons.  The demand for water is a necessity of life and can occur during some of the most inconvenient times.  Also, one must consider the fuel, insurance and maintenance savings for the equipment used for the hauling/ transportation of tanks/water from a pump station and so forth. 

 The average 200ft SD well will have approximately a 7-year payout with generally unlimited water usage.  Depths of wells are dependent on specifics of the area and if a 40ft well is feasible with a test hole it generally has an approximate 5-year payout.

Wolverine Drilling Inc. is dedicated to working with you throughout the drilling process to ensure clear and concise measures are taken for both long-term well sustainability and overall investment costs.
