Running Springs stretches along the Rim of the World Highway (SR-18) in the San Bernardino Mountains, offering stunning views of the valleys below and access to Snow Valley ski area. At over 6,000 feet elevation, Running Springs experiences genuine mountain winters with significant snowfall. Private wells serving Running Springs properties must handle both granite bedrock drilling and serious freeze protection. At Southern California Well Service, we specialize in mountain well systems built for these conditions.

Running Springs Well Challenges
High Elevation Conditions
At 6,000+ feet, Running Springs is among the highest elevation communities we serve. Deep winter freezes, heavy snow loads, and extended cold periods all stress well systems. Proper design accounts for these extremes.
Granite Drilling
Like all San Bernardino Mountain communities, Running Springs sits on granite bedrock. Finding water means intercepting fractures in the rock—depth and production vary significantly even across small distances.
Critical Freeze Protection
Running Springs sees freezing temperatures from October through April, with sub-zero nights common in winter. Above-ground well components absolutely require insulated enclosures, heat tape, and proper protection.
Running Springs Well Characteristics
- Elevation: 6,000-6,500 feet
- Typical depths: 200-450 feet
- Geology: Fractured granite
- Winter lows: Sub-zero possible
- Freeze protection: Critical requirement
