My wife and I spent our New Years Eve (until around 8:30 anyway) with neighbors who moved here (Seattle) from Maui. They had also invited some folks who are visiting family, but who are just completing their home in HPP. I told them about this forum, and hope they join the conversation. Anywhooo, they mentioned that they're installing a well instead of relying on a catchment system. This is the first I'd heard of the notion of installing your own well anywhere on the island, and naturally that raises several questions:
Is the expense so prohibitive that others don't consider this?
Does the well water have to be treated to meet any local codes?
Related to that last one: They said the water table is down about 70 feet. With all your neighbors on cesspools, I'd think you'd want to get your water from something like 150 feet.
