What about digging wells near the springs? The LA Aqueduc Program probably lowered the water table (level at which the ground is saturated in water) but I think it still may be kinda high.

Because from what I have read, it is hard and dangerous getting there. You need to have a reliable water source. Imagine if there is an earthquake and rocks fall on the pipe, cut it in half and block the acess to the pomp. You're gonna want to go search for water down in the city, but rocks have fallen on your road and you are trapped.

It is definitely not a top priority right now, but knowing where the water tablr is the highest could be really usefull in a future where you plan on drilling a well.

Did you find geological and hydrological maps of the area since they are mines? It could be really usefull.
