Verify the water source, lawful use, test results, dry-season capacity, equipment and backup before buying.
A working tap does not identify a reliable water source
Trace every supply to the responsible provider, estate system, private well or delivered-water arrangement. For a well or borehole, request location plans, permissions or registrations where applicable, drilling and pump records, recent laboratory tests, treatment maintenance, meter history and dry-season performance.
Inspect tanks, pumps, filters, leaks, power backup and access for repair. Clarify ownership, shared use, operating costs and what happens if output or quality falls. Use the villa utility handover, water-system guide and buyer service.
