AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums The Cayes Caye Caulker New water system to be inaugurated in Caye Caulker

Yep and we are ruthless at conserving water in our home. Keeping it mellow and all that.....

installation is about 300 B$, depending the usage rates go from 23 to about 60B$ a month.

I heard rates were around $200 for a small house for the first month (and 5x that for a guest house), so that must have included installation (?). 'Anybody', are you in Caye Caulker and is this first-hand info? So much seems to be swirling around and really need to make a decision sooner rather than later....also, how long to get it installed and up and running?

I live on Caye Caulker and have 1 guest house. In June the guest house was full for 20 days and we use the water system for everything including I do all the laundry and my bill was $55.Bz for the month. I think that is very reasonable for 2 houses.

Very reasonable! Thanks for the info, very much appreciated.

prices in Caye Caulker are almost the same as in San Pedro

The water costs about BZ$25 for the first 1000 gal, a few dollars more per thousand for the next 1000 and so on.We use about 2000/mo
Running the pumps for the well and cistern only cut the cost about in half,not counting maintenence.

Great info, thanks everyone!

The rates seem doable... For water you can drink! ( I assume you can?)

I've been told you still can't drink it, too much chlorine....
