A recent article in the HPP newsletter warned against wells in lower parts of the park. The porous land and lava tubes provide perfect pathways for open cess pit material to travel downhill towards the ocean and seep into wells along the way. If you live near the ocean you are open to 32 streets of human waste trying to find a way into your water supply. A good closed catchment system is preferable as you can control exactly what it going in it. I'd rather shower with catchment water any day as there are no toilets in the sky!
