Many residents of HPWD rely on private water wells as their only source of water. HPWD has many resources and services to help residents understand groundwater availability. Our hope is that people use our resources to "KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY"
Please consult our office BEFORE you buy property, so we may review our data resources and help you make educated decisions. A representative analysis is shown in this table, and provides some quantifiable estimates for groundwater in storage for several different size lots and aquifer conditions.
