Southern California Well Service drills new wells throughout Hemet. We understand the local geology (San Jacinto Valley alluvium (valley) and granite (hills)) and know what to expect at typical depths of 150-600ft.
Hemet Well Drilling Specifics
- Geology: San Jacinto Valley alluvium (valley) and granite (hills)
- Typical depth: 150-600ft
- Expected yield: 10-30 GPM (valley), 3-10 GPM (hills)
- Water quality: very hard water (15-25 grains), high TDS
- Elevation: 1,600ft
Why Hemet Geology Matters
Large retirement community. Many older wells from original ranch properties. Close to SCWS Anza office. Diamond Valley Lake nearby.
This geological context means Hemet wells require: 150-600ft depths to reach productive water-bearing zones in San Jacinto Valley alluvium (valley) and granite (hills).
New Well Drilling Process
- Site evaluation: Review property, existing wells nearby, geology maps
- Permits: Pull Riverside County well permits
- Drilling: Rotary or cable tool drilling through San Jacinto Valley alluvium (valley) and granite (hills) to 150-600ft
- Well development: Pump and clean well to maximize yield (target: 10-30 GPM (valley), 3-10 GPM (hills))
- Pump installation: Size and install submersible pump based on actual yield
- Water testing: Test for bacteria, minerals, and very hard water (15-25 grains), high TDS
- System completion: Pressure tank, controls, final inspection
