1/. Get help from Alberta Environment and Parks, Ground water division. Explain the situation and get their advice/guidance.
2/. Do the same with Alberta Health Services, Environmental Health division.
The aquifer may very well be (most likely is(read is))contaminated. Drilling a new well into the aquifer will be a waste of $$$ and time. Shock chlorination may not do the trick. May take several treatments and then it is a crap (no pun intended) shoot. My work is related to issues similar to this involving water wells and ground water. Don't take a chance with out AE&P and AHS help. Believe me!! Don't drill a new well without a permit from AE&P. Without a permit you could have to fill it back in and/or could be charged. Believe me on this too!!!
