The Canada Water Wells, near jct. of Canada-Toto Rd.& Canada -Toto Loop Barrigada-Mangilao, GU, are water works that were built in 1937.[1]

They have also been known as Kanada, as Chochugu' and as To'tu. The structures were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008; the listing included two contributing structures.[1]

A U.S. Geological Survey report in 2003 described the water of Guam, including identifying that there are approximately 180 water wells serving the needs of Guam, drawing on a lens-shaped aquifer.[2]
