Who should I call for a well?

Crizzy,if you decide to have a well and use this contractor,would you keep us posted?
I am using a different one,applied for the permit,but at this point I have more ?? than answers.
Just a piece of advice-before you pay for the permit,make sure that you are aware that water is not guaranteed.
HPP is an exception with some drillers ,but in general the water is not guaranteed.
In my case (125 feet elevation) I might be paying more than $12K just for the hole in the ground.
I am trying to research the possibility of using a land sonar or other equipment to estimate the risk - no luck so far.

Has anyone tried drilling at the bottom of Nanawale, Hapuu by Maunakea? Or would be interested in a hui to do so?

Emily,could you,please tell us more about Fred Page or (better)

invite him if you can to PW to tell more about his experience.

May be not him,but some of his clients?

I think a lot of people would be interested to learn about the

equipment being used to estimate the elevation , possible risk,well

known problems and how he deals with them.

"Wonderful to deal with" -it's a start .

To be continued?

I found another string here at Punaweb recommending Diamond Drilling. Has anyone used this outfit?

Crizzy,I don't know what you mean by "outfit",but Diamond Drilling is a

very reputable family business.They drilled most of the wells in

Puna.Daniel Diamond is a PW member.You can e-mail him trough the PW.

His PW name is "Daniel",like in real life.

outfit = company, organization

Crizzy,
We had our well put in by Diamond Drilling. The father and son team are great! It was a problem free process for us. We are in HPP.
