    if the truck that brings buildingmaterials can make it up there, then the suction truck should be able to make it up there...no idea though about prices.
    I have a septic tank...no idea if it's bonafide...just a big underground tank, one inlet and one outlet, the outlet doesn't lead into a section of wide perforated pipes (so no drainfield),
    but normal size pipe goes into the got. The water that goes through this got, is connecting to the ricefield.

    be sure to talk about the big difference in groundwaterlevel with your architect/engineer.
    don't read between the lines..i think the words are clear enough...:)

    Wink Ah yes, duit..

    Selamat Tahun Baru!

    Regarding trucks, duit makes anything happen.

    You wrot "normal size pipe into the got," more explanation please. 10cm 4" pipe or 2.5cm 1"? Exuse my ignorance, but what is a "got"? Gutter, canal.

    Bet the rice grows well. Smart use of Mother Nature's filter I suppose. Requires less bebek.

    The community water seems to be controlled by a bule for a flat monthly rate though beyond seeing the pipe on the ground in the nehborhood I haven't yet investigated further its source. I recall being told it was his spring but for all I know it could be subak water he is selling.

    yeah you got that right...money can make a lot of things happen on Bali

    got = gutter..yeah the rice is doing good ..as we speak he's making the padi ready for planting. about the pipes, both inlet and outlet are 10cm pipes.

    ehm...a foreigner controlling the desa/village watersupply...wish it was that simple, me having land where a river runs through that would have been an easy way to make money
    while sleeping.
    but seriously, I never heard of a Bule being in control of water on Bali.
    As far as I know the irrigation systems for plantages and padi's are controlled by the Subak, (balinese guy who gets elected by the people, a foreigner can't run for this position)
    he sort of decides when the water goes where..then there's the natural spring water, wich can be linked to either the PDAM (Perusahaan Daerah Air Minum) or to BPAB (Badan Pengelola Air Bersih). I remember when we started building I (architect) payed the subak for accessing the water, so cement could be mixed etcetc...when the house was done we got hooked up
    with a meter from the BPAB.
    If I were you, especially in Kayu Putih, I would try to get to the bottom of the water 'issue'.
