Investing in tourism and hospitality projects in Guanacaste, Costa Rica? Secure water, wastewater and permitting early with expert local consultants

Guanacaste continues to attract foreign investment in eco-tourism, hospitality and residential development, thanks to its coastline, biodiversity and climate. But many investors, project managers and architects overlook a critical early step: ensuring compliance with Costa Rica’s environmental and water management regulations.

At Clean Water Group Costa Rica, we provide turnkey consulting and engineering services in water supply, wastewater treatment and environmental permitting, helping developers secure feasibility and avoid costly setbacks.

💼 Our key services for investors in Guanacaste

• Potable water supply systems (catchment, chlorination, tanks, pumping and network design)

• Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) for hotels, villas, and condominium complexes

• Hydraulic and sanitary designs for stormwater, sewage and water reuse

• Support in environmental permitting and impact studies (SETENA, D1, VI, etc.)

• Connection to public infrastructure and extension of existing AyA branches

• Assistance with legal frameworks such as MINAE-MINAEET resolution 39877, and Decreto Ejecutivo 32327-S

🧠 Why involve expert consultants from the beginning?

In Costa Rica, local compliance is everything. Approvals depend on adherence to technical standards, environmental laws and municipal zoning.

Hiring local consultants ensures that your design:

• Meets criteria from SETENA (National Environmental Secretariat)

• Is aligned with AyA (Water Institute) guidelines

• Complies with MINAE, MINAEET, and regulations like resolution 39877

• Avoids unnecessary reviews, denials or costly reworks

• Is seen favorably by public institutions and communities

With Clean Water Group Costa Rica, you gain a partner familiar with national frameworks, legal obligations and regional water availability realities, especially in high-demand zones like Tamarindo, Papagayo, Nosara and Liberia.
