Jos-Soucy municipal well to be replaced in St-Basile

Jul 7, 2022

City of Edmundston’s Public Works Department is proposing to replace the existing municipal well, located on Jos-Soucy Street in Saint-Basile. The existing Jos-Soucy well is necessary to control the groundwater table in the area, for houses located in a 250 m radius of the well. The current well is at the end of its life cycle and needs to be replaced.

The project includes the drilling of a well, the dismantling of 4 existing wells, a 24-hour pump test, during which the well will be pumped into Mastic Creek, to measure the quality and quantity of the water. Work will be supervised by the engineering consultant (Roy Consultants), and a certified well driller will drill the new well. This work is planned for later this year.
