Background
The Boulder Water Company was incorporated October 25, 1919m as a mutual water company and was officialy dissolved in June 1979. The Company was located north of Baselin between Mills and Padua Road in Claremont, California. The Company opeated one well and two reservoirs for the benefit of its stockholder members. The well was originally dug in 1919 for Ameria C. Bridges who in turn gave some of the water rights to the Company. In 1945, the Company bought 100 shares of the Claremont Basin Mutual Water Company stock to supplement their needs. Due to the dwindling citrus groves and demands for further domestic water by the area's increasing residents, however, in 1977 the well property was sold to the Southern California Water Company and the domestic reservoir property was sold sold to Lewis Homes, a developer in the Claremont, California area.
