Why Rialto Geology Matters
Inland Empire city west of San Bernardino. Mostly on municipal water but some outlying properties use wells. Good alluvial fan yields. Industrial and residential mix. Near I-10/I-15 junction.
This geological context means Rialto wells require: 200-400ft depths to reach productive water-bearing zones in San Bernardino alluvial fan deposits.
New Well Drilling Process

- Well development: Pump and clean well to maximize yield (target: 10-25 GPM)
- Pump installation: Size and install submersible pump based on actual yield
- Water testing: Test for bacteria, minerals, and hard water (12-20 grains), nitrates, moderate to high TDS
- System completion: Pressure tank, controls, final inspection
