Description:
Following the purchase of the Beaumont Land and Water Company by the Beaumont Irrigation District, the District began exploring
for water in the Edgar Canyon area. Through the 1920’s and into the 1930’s, approximately 35 holes were drilled in the canyon
area. With the exploration that occurred, the District located a number of faults or groundwater barriers which caused water
to pool underground upstream of the fault. Pumping equipment installed upstream of the faults allowed the District to develop
small producing wells. There are currently 13 wells pumping in Edgar Canyon that have been added through the years. This
photo shows a group of town folks who were encouraged to come view a new flowing well.
