I was thinking about opening a filtered water business in Santiago or Santo Domingo.

Anybody have any pros or cons on this business or location?

Capital intensive, low margin and hefty local competition.

dominican tap water is nondrinkable, many people do not even use it for cooking. hence hundreds of businesses selling purified bottled water.
i do not know what "filtered' means but i am pretty sure dominicans would not care whether your water is any better that water theat is already available here. competition is hard and costs are high: there is a water business right next to the plant where miesposo works, they make water and ice. just their electricy bill could give you a heart attack...
