Well Abandonment & Destruction in Boulevard

Unused or abandoned wells in Boulevard are more than an eyesore — they're a direct pathway for surface contamination to reach groundwater. California law requires proper destruction of wells that are no longer in use, and San Diego County enforces this through the permitting process.

Why Proper Well Abandonment Matters

  • Groundwater protection — an open or poorly sealed well allows pesticides, fertilizers, sewage, and surface runoff to contaminate the aquifer
  • Safety hazard — open wells are fall risks for children, pets, and wildlife
  • Legal liability — property owners are responsible for wells on their property, even if they didn't drill them
  • Property sale requirements — real estate transactions in Boulevard often require disclosure and proper sealing of abandoned wells

The Abandonment Process

  1. Permit application — we obtain the required San Diego County well destruction permit
  2. Well assessment — inspect the well's depth, construction, and current condition
  3. Equipment removal — pull any pump, pipe, and wiring still in the well
  4. Sealing — fill the well with cement grout or bentonite from bottom to surface per California standards
  5. Surface completion — cut the casing below grade and cap with concrete
  6. County filing — submit the well destruction report to San Diego County and the state DWR

Cost of Well Abandonment in Boulevard

Typical well destruction costs range from $1,500-$5,000 depending on well depth, diameter, and accessibility. Deeper wells in Boulevard's decomposed granite and fractured crystalline rock formations require more grout material and time. We include the permit fee and county filing in our quotes.
