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, well inspections in Idyllwild should include a static water level measurement, pump performance test, and water quality screening. See detailed well depth data for Idyllwild →
