Citrus Water Requirements
Citrus trees need consistent water for optimal production:
- Young trees: 10-20 gallons per week
- Mature trees: 50-75 gallons per week in summer
- Per acre: Approximately 3-4 acre-feet annually
That translates to serious well capacity requirements for commercial groves.

- Drip irrigation: Efficient water delivery to root zones

Water Quality for Citrus
Citrus is sensitive to water quality issues:
- Salinity: High salt damages trees over time
- Boron: Toxic to citrus at moderate levels

Citrus Grove Well Service Solutions for el Cajon Properties
As a el Cajon property owner with a private well, you rely on your water system daily. The local geology in San Diego County — decomposed granite and fractured crystalline rock — creates unique challenges that require experienced, local technicians who understand the area.
Why Local Expertise Matters
Generic well companies from out of area often don't understand San Diego County's terrain. Well depths, water tables, and rock formations vary significantly across the region. A technician familiar with el Cajon's specific conditions can diagnose problems faster and recommend the right solutions the first time.
