Wells on Record

County
Based on California DWR well completion reports. Idyllwild's average well depth is 69 feet deeper than the Riverside County average of 320 feet.
With 116 wells on record, Idyllwild has a moderate well infrastructure. The wide depth range of 21 to 950 feet reflects the varied terrain and geology across Idyllwild's landscape. Shallower wells typically tap into alluvial aquifers near drainages, while deeper wells penetrate mixed alluvial deposits and crystalline basement rock of the Peninsular Ranges to reach more reliable water sources.
At an average depth of 389 feet, agricultural wells in Idyllwild require high-capacity pumps sized for significant lift — typically 1 to 5 HP depending on flow rate and total dynamic head. See detailed well depth data for Idyllwild →
Agricultural Water Needs in Idyllwild
Idyllwild's Riverside County location means hot inland temperatures that can push daily irrigation demand to 5,000+ gallons per acre during peak summer months. Agricultural wells here must be sized for sustained high-volume pumping, often 15-50 GPM from alluvial or weathered rock aquifers.
Common agricultural well setups in Idyllwild include variable frequency drives (VFDs) to match pump output to demand, storage tanks for buffer capacity, and booster systems for pressurized irrigation lines. We size every agricultural pump to the well's tested yield — oversizing wastes energy and can damage the well by drawing the water level down too fast.

What type of pump is best for agricultural wells?
For high-volume agricultural wells, we typically install large-diameter submersible pumps (7.5-25+ HP) from Franklin Electric or Grundfos. Solar-powered pump systems are increasingly popular for remote ranch locations.
