Safely Access Pressurized Groundwater with Certified Artesian Well Services in Kamloops, Merritt, Vernon & Central BC
Artesian wells can provide a reliable and naturally pressurized water source—but they require precise planning, experienced drilling, and regulatory compliance to ensure safe and efficient operation. At Fyfe Well & Water Services, we specialize in artesian well design and construction across Kamloops, Merritt, Vernon, and throughout the Central BC Interior. Our team brings decades of experience drilling in diverse BC geology, offering customized artesian well systems for rural properties, farms, and commercial projects that require dependable, high-yield groundwater access.
An artesian well taps into a confined aquifer under natural pressure, allowing water to rise in the well column—sometimes flowing to the surface without pumping. While these wells can offer high-yield, energy-efficient water delivery, proper sealing, flow control, and construction are essential to avoid water waste, surface damage, or contamination.
We analyze groundwater data, terrain, and geological structure to determine if your site is suitable for a pressurized artesian system.
Using advanced equipment and trained operators, we drill and construct artesian wells with attention to depth, pressure control, casing, and sealing—ensuring safe, long-lasting performance.
We install flow control valves, well caps, or pressure-regulating components to prevent uncontrolled discharge and ensure system efficiency.
Our team handles all necessary permits and ensures the project meets BC Groundwater Protection Regulations, including proper sealing and containment where required.

We understand that drilling a well on your property can raise a lot of questions—especially if it's your first time. Below are answers to some of the most common inquiries we receive from homeowners throughout Central BC.
Do all artesian wells flow at the surface?
No—some are confined enough to rise in the casing without overflowing. Surface-flowing wells require special containment and control systems.
Are artesian wells legal in BC?
Yes, but they must be constructed and sealed according to BC’s Groundwater Protection Regulation to avoid water loss and contamination.
What’s the difference between artesian and regular wells?
Artesian wells access confined aquifers under pressure, while standard wells rely on pump systems to draw water from unconfined or lower-pressure sources.
