At Okanagan Kootenay Well Drilling, we believe there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a clean, high-flowing well come to life—and that’s exactly what happened on a recent job in Cawston, British Columbia.
We were called to drill a domestic water well for a rural property located just south of Keremeos, nestled in the Similkameen Valley. Known for its dry climate and rich agricultural land, Cawston residents rely heavily on dependable groundwater access. Our team brought in our water well rig and pipe truck, and the results speak for themselves.
The photo featured here captures the moment water started flowing from the well—a clear sign of a successful drill and strong aquifer. Whether you’re setting up a new homestead, expanding your farm, or replacing an older well, this is the kind of result you want to see.
