Water Testing in Crestline, CA

What to Test For in Crestline Wells

The geology in Crestline — mountain granite and decomposed granite — directly determines what contaminants you're likely to find in your well water.

Common Contaminants in Crestline

Based on local geology and decades of testing Crestline wells, here's what we typically find:

• Water hardness: 6-12 grains — this causes scale buildup on fixtures, water heaters, and appliances
• Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): 200-400 ppm — affects taste and can indicate other contaminants
• Specific to mountain granite and decomposed granite: low yields common, iron, moderate hardness

Neighborhood-Specific Concerns

• Crestline Village: low yields common, iron, moderate hardness
• Valley of Enchantment: low yields common, iron, moderate hardness
• Lake Gregory area: low yields common, iron, moderate hardness
