7. WHAT ABOUT WATER?
These 5+ acre parcels were grandfathered in as part of the original master planned community as per Costilla County. That said, I purchased additional guarantees for water rights with documentation.
You have several options for water including drilling a new water well or having water delivered to a water tank you have installed. It is difficult to estimate an exact cost of drilling a new water well because it will depend upon the company you hire to drill the well and the depth. I encourage you to fully vet every company offering this service. The purity content of the water cannot be determined until each individual well is completed and tested. Contact a Licensed Colorado Well driller for further information and proposed costs and contact county for required permits.
