Ebrandon friends.....  
 
Have you are or anyone you know successfully installed a sand point on Cornwallis Bay or Cornwallis Cresent?  
 
Thanks

,but it should work as there is a swampy area just to the East of there.

all of brandon is on the aquifer and not far down, so you will hit water, just not sure what kind of soil you'll run into in that area.  
city engineering might be able to help.

I live in this area and tried a sandpoint. There is lots of water at 9 or so feet but the ground gets really clayey at 11 feet down. sandpoints can't suck water out of clay. I've considered a well, but haven't really looked into it for costs.

Yes no problem providing there is a source..

I cannot comment on suitably of your area. I live in town of OakLake.  
Technically you are talking about a WellPoint. The accepted slang is standpoint. In our area these are the primary water source. In my yard I wanted to put down a second point to use exclusively to water my yard and garden. I borrowed a 3 inch auger and drilled down to water. There are seams of clay even in our sand. I drilled several holes where I could see and hear water running but it was clay which clogged up the screens.  
 
I drilled in excess of twenty feet down. I kept moving over ten feet each time. I installed a point ten feet down and have a good enough supply to run three sprinklers simultaneously. What I'm trying to say you may be in a swamp and your neighbours might have working points. If you are in clay a well may be your only option.

Call Don Jago and his boys, they can tell you exactly how far to go down in any part of the city to get a Sandpoint or whether you can get at Sandpoint. And getting water for a Sandpoint and groundwater are two completely different things. Call Don
