Wells on Record

County
Based on California DWR well completion reports. Colton's average well depth is 94 feet shallower than the Riverside County average of 320 feet.
With 498 wells on record, Colton has a moderate well infrastructure. The wide depth range of 7 to 1300 feet reflects the varied terrain and geology across Colton'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 226 feet, well inspections in Colton should include a static water level measurement, pump performance test, and water quality screening. See detailed well depth data for Colton →
