Alegría Village is a fully developed community, with infrastructure built to each lot, making it easy to build your dream house right away! Alegría includes internal roads to the driveway of each lot, as well as water, electric and fiber optic internet connections to every lot. All wires and pipes are underground. Septic is not included, and we recommend individual wastewater systems.
Water
There is an abundance of water in this region and a well-charged water table. Our water comes from two wells on the property. Alegría also has three springs on the property, with two more just above the land, creating three creeks that run through the neighborhood (one of which runs all-year-long!).
Our well produces a conservative 2.4 liters of water per second, equaling 207,360L a day (which can support 691 homes - the average house uses about 300L per day of water).
We feel very grateful for the incredible supply of clean drinking water that our land gives us! If you have any specific questions or concerns about water, we would be happy to share and discuss our reports with you.
Power
Alegría Village is on-grid, getting our power from Costa Rica’s electrical supply. We are proud to live in a country that has prioritized renewable energy, with 98.5% of electricity generated from renewable sources.
Costa Rica’s energy comes from the five clean energy sources:
Hydroelectric (74%)
Geothermal (11.92)
Wind (11.08%)
Biomass (0.73%)
Solar (0.03%).
Bunker and diesel represented only 1.47%.
Some residents prefer to remain off-grid and install solar panels on their home… and that is a great option as well!
Trash / Recycling / Compost
Alegría has central waste disposal / recycling / community compost that is removed from the community regularly. There are receptacles for collection throughout the community.
Internet
High-speed fiber optic internet is installed in the community and available for connection. Neighbors report that the internet connection is fantastic and many work from home in video calls all day.
