How far is it from Santee?
Most Santee customers just stay on Mission Gorge Rd west. It leaves Santee near Carlton Hills Blvd, winds through Mission Trails Regional Park past Old Mission Dam, and comes out in Grantville. We're on the right in the Village Square center.
If you're starting near Santee Trolley Square or the 52, SR-52 west to I-15 south, then Friars Rd east, works too, but the park drive is the nicer one.
Neighborhoods we see customers from
We regularly fill jugs for people from Carlton Hills, Carlton Oaks, Santee Town Center, Rio Seco, West Hills, Fanita Ranch and the area around Santee Lakes.
Santee families tend to go through a lot of water, and the drive is an easy one with no freeway. Many make it a routine: a weekend hike at Mission Trails, then a stop to fill the jugs on the way out of the park.
