Cost and regulation of the municipal well-drilling license
- Water for industry
- Industrial water, wells and discharges
- Audited
The fee and license for drilling each mechanical well (urban or rural) is set municipality by municipality under the Municipal Code and the schedules of fees; there is no national tariff. Infile's compilation of municipal rules shows, for example, the drilling license fee of the Guatemala City municipality (Municipal Agreement 11-05-1995), of San José Pinula (Minute 33-94.3) and of San Lucas Sacatepéquez (Minute 019-94), but with no amounts in the index. The cost for each target municipality (Guatemala, Villa Nueva, Mixco, Escuintla, San José Pinula) is recorded as 'not found': it has to be gathered at each municipality's single window.
The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
