How far down is the water table? Is the water there safe to drink? What will I need to treat the water?
Are water wells posable in Fern Forest?

Mr Diamond only drills to or around 400'. FF is 3,000 so a big rig, and a shared expense would be necesary, and results not guaranteed. However a hui of residents below the holes would be possible!

Anything is possible, after all the deepest water well (4,000' deep) in the world is on this island, at Pu'u Wa'awa'a. Is it practical? Probably not.... Unless there is a perched water table (usually a volcanic dike causes this in HI) You are looking at drilling a well somewhere around 2,000' (give or take a few hundred, depending on your elevation within the subdivision)
Daniel Diamond will probably have more info. Catchment water is normally used in your area. The water is not bad, & can easily be made totally potable (with filters & UV light) (Well water on island, if it is feasable, is very good (some of the best in the world) |
