DWR Bulletin 118 basin 8-05, the San Jacinto Groundwater Basin, underlies San Jacinto, Perris, Moreno, and Menifee Valleys in western Riverside County. The 2003 description bounds it with the San Jacinto Mountains on the east, the San Timoteo Badlands on the northeast, the Box Mountains on the north, and the Santa Rosa Hills and Bell Mountain on the south. The 2016 boundary description names the Box Springs Mountains on the north. Lake Perris is in the eastern part of Perris Valley. Valley-fill deposits reach about 900 feet in the western and northern parts of the basin and may exceed 5,000 feet in the eastern part between the Casa Loma and Claremont faults. DWR says wells in this basin produce 200 to 2,600 gallons per minute. That is the basin production range in the Bulletin 118 summary. Eastern Municipal Water District is a groundwater producer in this basin.
California DWR Well Completion Reports compiled in the site well-depth file (generated January 30, 2026). Depth and yield figures below use the domestic water-supply reports tagged with that city. Perris has 690 domestic reports with a depth. Median depth is 240 feet, and the middle half fall between 150 and 425 feet. Median reported yield is 10 gallons per minute (594 reports with a yield). A 10 gallon-per-minute domestic report and a 200 to 2,600 gallon-per-minute basin production well are different wells. Do not treat the basin range as the expected house-well yield.
The public Recent Work file lists 15 Perris projects, 14 pump service and 1 pressure tank. The six job cards already on this page stay as they are.
