Dear Mrs. Best: Central Region DEC `J 7 1 1911 TO` N of NEWCASTLE Re: Potential Water Well Interference Suite 700 150 Ferranti Drive Don Mills, Ontario M3C 3C3 (416) 424-3000 This is to confirm our telephone conversation of November 28, 1977 regarding this Ministry's policy on water well interference because of concerns expressed by residents in the Courtice area about potential interference that may be caused by proposed subdivisions. Our Ministry administers The Ontario Water Resources Act which regulates water use and management in Ontario. According to the Act, most water takings in excess of 10,000 gallons per day (about 7 gallons per minute), whether from groundwater or surface water, require Permits To Take Water and the conditions of those permits for groundwater withdrawals are such that prior well water users, if they live in an unserviced area and are affected seriously, are entitled to restoration of their water supplies. It should be stressed that small individual domestic takings (even if they are part of a subdivision) are not subject to water taking permits and thus no protection is provided in case of interference between domestic supplies. In our experience, well interference between private wells outside subdivisions and those within has not been a problem. -2- 1 expect that the above information is sufficient but if questions remain to be answered, you can contact me again. Yours truly, 'W. Lammers, P. Eng., Chief, Water Resources Assessment, Technical Support Section. WL/db 5P
