The M.D. owns and operates 3 community wells, which provide water to area residents at no charge. Although the water is considered non-potable because it is not chlorinated, the water comes from the Grimshaw Gravels Aquifer and is considered to be very good drinking water.
Griffin Creek Wellhouse - located on SE10-82-25-W5, this site has a flowing well with an assist pump for the overhead truck fill.
McInnis Wellhouse - located on NW27-83-23-W5, this site was established in 1974. There are 2 wells, 25 - 27 feet deep. The East Grimshaw Water Cooperative accesses water from one of these wells.
McKenzie Wellhouse - located on NW22-82-23-W5, this site has a 5000 gallon check valve reservoir which is filled from the East Grimshaw Water Cooperative's line. This reservoir, located near the top of the Peace River hills, acts to reduce the water pressure in the Co-op line as it moves down into the valley. There is an overhead truck fill for our residents' use.
Strong Creek Park - although a spring-fed community well is no longer used here, the M.D. is hooked onto the Shaftesbury Water Co-op line, which accesses water from the Town of Peace River. This wellhouse provides water for use at the park.
