Elevation 350' Catchment Tank or Well?

[StillHope]

Mine was done for $70/lf - about 13K total cost at about 130 ft elevation a year ago.

Our base rate is $70.00 per foot. Some areas we charge more. The 180 is for a much much larger commercial type well. Please include more than the price when you quote something I've said. :-) Have a great day and feel free to call if you have any questions.

As for the water meter it is a requirement from the state. It isn't really enforced but we still provide them. You take a monthly reading then send it in once a year. It is for statistical information. Plus water is available on a first come first serve basis. So keeping tract helps keep you higher on the list. Though the chances of water limits on this island are very very unlikely.

Daniel,could you please explain this?

We wont ever have to worry about this in our life time. It only happens on other islands. We have too much water for that to ever happen. So don't loose any sleep over it.

Daniel, do the higher elevations (1000+) in Kau have enough water to drill for? I have a friend considering that portion of the island as a "sunnier" home site. All I know is some people have water trucked in.

Life goes on, with you or without you.

That is an excellent idea. maybe even 3 or 4 neighbors? I once was in a small group of homes (6) that had a community well. The concept worked nicely. I would have a lawyer draw up the docs for it though.

[Daniel]

Yes you need to give each owner access to the well. Another consideration is how to share the cost of electricity etc...

Thanks, I'm not sure how serious she is. I'm trying to get her to move to the Big Island, but she's not a rainy side person.
