Carnivore Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 I've been told that currently home owners receive their water by truck as the intended wells for that highest part of the development have not, as of yet, produced water? Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Cumbres is not part of Chula Vista Norte. Cumbres has made multiple attempts at drilling a well with no success. . They supply water by truck to their system almost daily. I was told last year they had applied to SIMAPA for connection, but there were problems with their papers.

II guess because you have to drive though CVN one could be forgiven for not assuming it is part of CVN. By the way does CVN have a well or rely on Tanks and or SAT muni to supply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Chula Vista Norte is connected to a SIMAPA well with a tank on the hill for pressure. CVN maintains the pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVN maintains the pump. I remember having lots of problems in CVN with the water supply when we stayed there. I thought that the first time we stayed it was anomaly but we had the some problems the next winter too. That was couple of years ago so it may have changed. Do you live there Mostlylost? Do you know the situation now? Loved it there otherwise. We have lost our contacts there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 The only problems in CVN with water were related to pump failures and the inability of SIMAPA to make timely repairs. About 2 years ago there also was a pipe repair needed (damage caused by a contractor) that affected 5 houses. Because of location of the pipe it took a few days. CVN took control of the pump maintenance and installed a new pump and repaired the old pump so if there is a pump failure it can be exchanged in a couple of hours. Also unlike SIMAPA CVN has been doing an annual cleaning of the pump so failure is less likely. Houses in CVN are required to have Aljibes. A few of the very old houses have very small aljibes good for 1-2 days of use. The majority of the newer houses have large aljibes (as much as 20,000 liters) that will last for weeks if needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnivore Posted July 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 The opening post "Cumbres Chula Vista Norte - Potable Water" only addresses the water supply to Cumbres! "Mostlylost", initially, responded to the post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostlylost Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 The original sales promotions all stated "Our own private well" . Doubt anyone insisted that that be put in the sales contract. Doubt the salespeople even talk about water now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Thanks-for the info---We are just in the process of closing soon---Upper Chula Vista--What is that situation? Asked about water and told all was OK! Insight please so we don't go in blindly! Salud and Gracias during these times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Upper Chula Vista is a long ways from Cumbres and Chula Vista Norte and is not connected with either in any way. You would need to ask the homeowners Assoc about water in Upper Chula Vista. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
