Why Winchester Geology Matters
Rural area near Temecula wine country. Horse properties and rural residential. All properties well-dependent. Near Diamond Valley Lake reservoir. Mix of valley and hillside geology. Hot summers.
This geological context means Winchester wells require: 200-500ft depths to reach productive water-bearing zones in granite and alluvial valley deposits.

- Well development: Pump and clean well to maximize yield (target: 8-20 GPM)
- Pump installation: Size and install submersible pump based on actual yield
- Water testing: Test for bacteria, minerals, and hard water (12-18 grains), moderate TDS, iron in granite areas
- System completion: Pressure tank, controls, final inspection
