Artesian Avenue. This street name provides a happy memory of an era in San Bernardino's history when water was not a problem - at least, not the lack of it! An underground basin of water extended from the low lands near the Santa Ana River, north to approximately Base Line Street.
According to Elliott, the San Bernardino Valley surpassed every other valley in Southern California in the abundance of water, in 1883. Artesian wells varied in depth from 60 to 410 feet, averaging 160 feet, and in from two to eight inches in diameter. They were confined at that time to an area not exceeding four square miles in and around San Bernardino, but it was estimated that they were delivering 25 cubic feet of water per second, or over 16 million gallons per day, every day.
