My friend and I are thinking about moving there.

My concern is that we want to be out of the hurricane zone but Aruba is so arid . With no rain or fresh water rivers, what is the water source? is it ground water or brought in by freight?
I want to plant a mango tree , a couple of banana trees, a lemon tree, flowers and plumeria trees.
Is the monthly water bill very expensive?
Thanks
Kindly,
Valerie

Hey Valerie.....The Aruba water supply is desalinated sea water.聽 The Balashi plant is the water treatment company.聽 Extremely good tasting water. No need for bottled water.聽 They also make the local beer (Balashi) with this water.聽 As far as cost, I am not an expert, but I have heard it is high.聽 I am in a condo and only use it sparingly so I could not guide you as to pricing.

Hi Tony,
I am interested in connecting with expats (American and others) as well as locals for information and to make friends while in Aruba while I am there in September. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks!
