Only the town hall can confirm it, in writing: ask for a certificado urbanístico.
Is there water?
IGME records 15 wells and boreholes in Oria. Half of the 13 with a depth found water at 100–240 m. Measured yields (8): 20–35 L/s, the middle half. 2 springs are recorded.
Ground: 45% practically impermeable; 26% karstic or fissured aquifer, high productivity; 24% porous aquifer, high productivity.
Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
