Plan a residential well in Ontario
WDF base planning range across the published 50–200-foot depth band. Confirm whether the quote includes the pump, pressure tank, electrical work, treatment and difficult-access charges.

How the estimate works
Depth is only the first number
The range is calculated from government well records or depth guidance and the ground conditions commonly encountered in the area. It is not a published government price and it cannot predict whether a specific bore will be dry, unusually deep or difficult to reach.
Ask every bidder for one complete-system total. It should identify drilling, casing, grouting, pump, pressure tank, electrical work, permit or filing charges, water testing and restoration separately.

Why Ontario quotes vary by area
Canadian Shield
Hard fractured rock can increase drilling time, depth uncertainty and the per-foot rate.
Higher hard-rock riskRural and remote sites
Rig access, travel, hydro service and winter conditions can add costs not captured by a depth-only model.
Access premium possibleVerify the people doing the work
Ontario Regulation 903 governs well construction. The work should be performed by the appropriately licensed well contractor and well technician.
Open the licence lookup guide →Confirm the permit path
The contractor must complete and distribute the provincial well record. Also confirm municipal building, conservation-authority or source-protection requirements that apply to the property.

Compare the same scope—not just the headline price
- Licence and insurance: match the name on the proposal to the current public record.
- Depth and per-foot terms: record the included depth, overage rate and dry-hole terms.
- Complete system: separate drilling, casing, grout, pump, tank, wiring, permit, test and restoration.
- Water and workmanship: ask about yield testing, disinfection, laboratory testing and written warranties.

How much does it cost to drill a well in Ontario?
WDF’s 2026 planning range is C$1,800–C$11,000 CAD. WDF base planning range across the published 50–200-foot depth band. Confirm whether the quote includes the pump, pressure tank, electrical work, treatment and difficult-access charges.
How deep is a residential well in Ontario?
The reference point used here is about 50–200 ft. A nearby completion record is more useful than a broad average, and only drilling confirms the final depth and yield.
Do I need a licensed well driller or a permit in Ontario?
Ontario Regulation 903 governs well construction. The work should be performed by the appropriately licensed well contractor and well technician. The contractor must complete and distribute the provincial well record. Also confirm municipal building, conservation-authority or source-protection requirements that apply to the property.
What should a complete well quote include?
Compare drilling, casing, grout, pump, pressure tank, electrical work, permit or filing fees, yield testing, disinfection, laboratory testing, restoration, over-depth pricing and dry-hole terms on separate lines.
