Phelan spreads across the upper high desert west of the Cajon Pass, a rural community at 4,500 feet elevation where ranches, homesteads, and desert properties rely entirely on private wells. With no municipal water system, every Phelan property depends on groundwater. At Southern California Well Service, we specialize in the deep desert wells and challenging conditions that define this region.

Phelan Well Challenges
Deep Water Tables
Phelan sits at relatively high elevation on the Mojave Desert's western edge, where groundwater often runs deep—wells of 400 to 700+ feet are common. This requires powerful pumps and efficient system design.
Variable Geology
The Phelan area spans multiple geological zones, from alluvial valleys to areas approaching mountain bedrock. Drilling conditions and well productivity vary accordingly.
Temperature Extremes
Phelan sees both desert heat and mountain-influenced winter cold, including freezing temperatures and occasional snow. Well systems need protection for both extremes.

- Typical depths: 400-700+ feet
