I am starting to think about possibly of going the water catchment route with the impending lava flow potentially affecting the private water service in Hawaiian Beaches/Hawaiian Shores and since that is pretty new to me, I am curious if anyone has an idea what kind of price ranges we would be looking at for a complete system that could support 5-6 people. I know we will have to call vendors when the time comes for actual quotes but am curious on at least ball park numbers for a new tank, filter set up and install costs since I don't have a lot of knowledge in this department. Also anyone care to share there experiences with converting from pipe to catchment? I would be happy to hear. I suspect many folks will consider going catchment in the area since I believe the well is near Keonopoko. If the lava cuts off Kahakai I suspect water supply in Hawaiian Shores will be a big challenge since it is not a wire (electric, cable, phone etc) and probably a lot of folks are tied into the water grid.
