Mt Lassen last erupted ~1917. How far away are you and what sort of increase in temp are you seeing? Additionally, it might help to check the pH, total dissolved solids and conductivity levels (among other parameters) over time. You can either rent or buy a meter for that, or the county guy might loan you one. Check it before the water enters any softening equipment you might have. The rate and amount of change could be relevant to it actually being something.
If it's really drastic, you could probably rope me into coming up and looking at it. If you're property is going to begin jetting steam, sulfur and magmatic ejecta I want to be there, because I'm a geologist and that would be COOL! ;)

You sound like my daughter!
She sees a hot springs resort in her future. ROFL!
I'll be sure to let you know when the geysers start.
I thought we were out of the Lassen magma area, but don't know for sure.
If this is just a part of the inland heating it could sure turn out to be good. I'd be the closest hot springs to Sacramento, I think.
Anyway, I've got a couple of strange SUVs heading up my road, so my answer may be near. Gotta go...

You have any colleagues near him in your professional network?
I think it's fascinating, too. Having lived through Spokane's experience of Mt St Helen, it's a bit more than academic, to me.
The San Francisco Peaks are not as far away from me now as Mt St Helen's was, then. Thankfully, they are not showing any signs of erupting again--that I nkow of--but I still expect them to in my lifetime. There has always been a hot spot on them and pretty high up, at that.
