I'm in eastern Ontario, Canada--east of Ottawa. Our well was dug maybe 35 years ago, had plenty of water at 60 feet, but the guy operating the machinery at the time went to 90 feet (if I remember correctly), "for a good reserve". None of my neighbors are any deeper, I believe.

None of us has ever gone out of our way to try to save water, even during summer droughts and nobody has ever had a dry well going as far back as any one of us knows (which arguably goes back a hundred years). My grandfather, who had a small farm, used to own a large part of the land, and there were a number of surface wells on his property. These were blocked off only because of the potential risks to trespassers unknowingly walking over.
