Traditional Water Supply Solutions for Rural Homes and Properties in Kamloops, Merritt, Vernon & Central BC
In certain areas of Central BC where groundwater is shallow or the terrain is challenging for deep drilling, a dug well can still be a practical, long-term water source. At Fyfe Well & Water Services, we specialize in both dug well construction for new systems and rehabilitation of existing dug wells across Kamloops, Vernon, Merritt, and surrounding rural communities. With decades of experience in BC’s diverse landscapes, our team ensures your dug well is built or restored safely, securely, and in full compliance with provincial water regulations.
Dug wells are shallow water wells excavated by mechanical equipment, typically between 10 and 30 feet deep. They rely on near-surface groundwater and are often lined with concrete tiles or cribbing to maintain structure and prevent contamination.
We carefully excavate and line new dug wells using heavy machinery, placing emphasis on well placement, proper sealing, and secure access. These systems are ideal for properties with high water tables and low production needs.
We restore existing dug wells by removing sediment, debris, and biological buildup. Our team can reline, seal, disinfect, and bring old dug wells back into safe, working condition.
We install or upgrade secure well heads, access covers, and venting to protect your water source from contamination and physical damage.

Yes—when properly constructed and maintained, dug wells are legal and regulated under BC’s Ground Water Protection Regulation.
How long do dug wells last?
With proper construction and maintenance, dug wells can last for decades. Regular inspections and cleaning are recommended.
