8. WATER AVAILABILITY

You will have several options for water, all at your own expense. These include drilling a new water well or having water delivered to an installed storage tank. The estimated depth for a water well is between 100 and 200 feet. Providing an exact cost for drilling a new well is difficult, as it depends on the contractor hired, with prices potentially ranging from $15 to $55 per foot. We encourage you to thoroughly investigate all companies offering this service and not base your decision solely on price. There is no guarantee that a productive well can be installed on the land, and if one cannot be established, no refund of the purchase price will be issued. Water purity and chemical content cannot be determined until each individual well is completed and tested. For further information, proposed costs, and required permits, please contact a Licensed Colorado Well Driller and the county.

9. UTILITIES INFORMATION

Primary electrical lines are located several miles from the land. You will be responsible for all installation costs, which are approximately $5 per foot to extend the lines. To obtain a specific cost estimate for running electrical lines to your land, you may contact the San Luis Valley Rural Electric Cooperative at 719-852-3538 or 800-332-7634. To reduce both initial and long-term costs, we recommend exploring alternative or renewable energy sources such as generators, wind, or solar systems for your electrical needs. Both federal and Colorado state governments have historically offered programs to assist with the payment for new solar installations. Utilizing an alternative power source can result in significant savings. For wastewater, a septic tank and leach field system will be required. For pricing, check with local hardware stores. A permit from the County Health Officer in San Luis, Colorado, must be obtained before installing a septic system. Further utility information and contacts can be provided upon request.
