Safely Access and Regulate Pressurized Aquifers Across Kamloops, Merritt, Vernon & Central BC
Artesian wells can provide a powerful, natural water source—but without proper construction and flow control, they can also pose environmental and operational risks. At Fyfe Well & Water Services, we specialize in artesian well drilling and flow management throughout Kamloops, Merritt, Vernon, and the Central BC Interior, offering engineered solutions for high-pressure groundwater extraction. From exploration and construction to containment and discharge control, we help clients safely harness artesian systems for municipal, industrial, and resource-based applications.
Working alongside hydrogeologists or independently, we conduct site assessments and pilot drilling to locate confined aquifers and determine whether artesian conditions are present.
Our team constructs deep artesian wells with robust casing, proper grouting, and sealed annular spaces to prevent uncontrolled surface flow or aquifer mixing.
We install valved wellheads, flow restrictors, surface containment, and drainage systems to maintain safe and regulated discharge from pressurized zones—compliant with BC Groundwater Protection Regulation.
Fyfe provides full flow testing, pressure monitoring, and documentation to support licensing, permitting, and environmental reporting.

We know that large-scale water infrastructure projects often come with complex technical and regulatory questions. Below are answers to some of the most common inquiries we receive from industrial operators, engineers, and project managers working across Central BC.
What’s the difference between an artesian and a flowing well?
All flowing wells are artesian, but not all artesian wells flow at the surface. Controlled systems require proper head pressure management and engineered sealing to prevent water loss.
Is special permitting required for artesian flow wells?
Yes. Flowing artesian wells are strictly regulated under BC law. We handle or support the permitting process, including required sealing, capping, and discharge planning.
Can you retrofit an uncontrolled artesian well?
In many cases, yes. We can install flow control components, re-seal casings, and bring the system into compliance while preserving functionality.
Whether you're planning a new development, upgrading existing systems, or solving complex water challenges, Fyfe Well & Water Services is ready to help.
