What Is Dewatering?

What is Decommissioning?
​
Well decommissioning is the process of permanently closing and sealing a well that is no longer in use. This involves removing any remaining equipment, disinfecting the well, and filling it with approved sealing materials to prevent contamination of groundwater sources. Proper decommissioning is essential for environmental protection and is often required by Alberta’s water regulations.
