Well Abandonment for Hurricane Properties
Hurricane is located in Washington County at 3,248 ft elevation with a population of 20,000+. Hurricane has emerged as one of the fastest-growing cities in Washington County, attracting families, retirees, and outdoor enthusiasts drawn to its proximity to Zion National Park and the affordable housing options compared to St. George.
Typical well depths in the Hurricane area range from 300-600 feet. The Hurricane Cliffs represent the surface expression of the Hurricane Fault, one of the most significant geological features in southwestern Utah, creating a dramatic 2,000-foot displacement in rock layers. Properties above the fault access the Navajo Sandstone aquifer at different depths than valley-floor properties drilling through alluvial deposits and Chinle Formation shales.

Water Conditions in Hurricane
Hurricane sits along the Virgin River corridor, where the Hurricane Valley aquifer provides groundwater through alluvial deposits and underlying Navajo Sandstone formations. Water table depths range from 250 feet near the river to 600+ feet on the Hurricane Mesa above the cliffs. Water quality in Hurricane wells tends toward moderate hardness with calcium and magnesium from the prevalent limestone formations, and some properties near the cliffs may encounter elevated iron levels that can be addressed with standard filtration systems.
Hurricane wells tend toward moderate hardness from limestone and sandstone formations, and some properties near the cliffs show elevated iron. Both are readily handled with a softener and standard filtration.
