Hi
As you all know by now I am doing a lot of work on my respective properties

Does anyone have advice or experience on how to make a water well + prices for labor and equipment etc. Can you refer any contactors in the north coast area (luperon/Cabarete)?

thanks

If you are using a well drilling truck they will charge you a basic price plus so much per foot. Here in the area of Jarabacoa we had to go down approximately 120 feet and the price with pump installed it was around 70,000 pesos. That is a tubular well. If the water is located not too deep it might be better and cheaper to dig a well. I believe Zoomie has had a well done in PP. In the paginasAmarillas they have several companies from Santiago and San Francisco but none from PP.

It's an older thread but I wanna add that, in terms of labor and equipment costs, it depends on the specifics of your project. Factors such as the depth of the well, the type of soil in your area, and the necessary equipment for the job can all affect the overall cost. I suggest getting quotes from multiple contractors to compare prices and find the best fit for your budget. Also, if you're interested in maintaining your well in the future, it might be helpful to look into workover rig maintenance services. These can help ensure that your well stays in good condition and continues to provide clean water for years to come. Good luck with your project!
