What to Test For in Beaumont Wells
The geology in Beaumont — Cherry Valley alluvial basin over granite — directly determines what contaminants you're likely to find in your well water.
Common Contaminants in Beaumont
Based on local geology and decades of testing Beaumont wells, here's what we typically find:
- Water hardness: 14-22 grains — this causes scale buildup on fixtures, water heaters, and appliances
- Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): 600-1200 ppm — affects taste and can indicate other contaminants
- Specific to Cherry Valley alluvial basin over granite: hard water (14-22 grains), high TDS
Why Beaumont Water Has These Issues
Cherry Valley area known for cherry orchards historically. Fast-growing city with new developments still needing wells. Adjacent to San Gorgonio Pass. Good alluvial well yields.
This geological context explains why Beaumont wells commonly show: hard water (14-22 grains), high TDS.
