Aloha,everyone!
I could use some advice in water well risk assessment.
Let me explain why I am not looking for lucky HPP residents with wells-they have water guaranteed.
I am looking for the less lucky Puna residents who went trough or thinking of going trough taking chances with water well.
I already paid for the permit.
You are probably wondering why
1) - I don't ask the contractor;
2) -I haven't ask the PW before I paid for the permit.
1.I did ask the contractor and hoping some day to get the answer.At this point I am # 21 in line (20 wells to drill before me) and as you imagine,the contractor is very busy.And it's always helpful to have a customer's opinion.
2.Before applying for the permit I was told that unlike the other companies,my contractor guarantee water.
The extra fuel surcharge was mentioned if they were stuck drilling.
I recently received a contract with"no water guarantee".
On my understandable question I got the answer that yes,water is guaranteed,but only in HPP.
As one of the PW member says,the "devil is in detail".
Basically I tend to believe that it was an honest mistake.The contractor ,probably,forgot that I am in Sea View.
I heard only good things about the contractor and willing to take my chance.All I need is the risk estimate.
It's like if you are going to a surgery,usually a doctor tells you what is the risk %.
In my subdivision it's only one or two wells.The castle owner has one.
I doubt that he/she is a PW member,otherwise would reply on the compliments about the design.
I know most of you have catchment.Pam has a good one for $6K.
My well estimate is $12K.But the thing is that that is the price I am going to pay whether I have water or not.
Don't get me wrong - the hard job of drilling needs to be paid.No question about that.
I just need to know the possible risk.There is some land sonar type equipment,but I don't hear anyone using it on BI.
Well,I am standing on the edge off the cliff with a parachute with "no opening guaranteed".
Any jumpers out there?
