The main reason for opposition is the impact on aquifers and the use of water by this kind of urbanizations. The purpose of the article is to show how the power relations between economic, political and community actors impact the manner of managing the water. For this reason, different community actors were interviewed, as well as a review of news and institutional documents to narrate and understand the conflict in the area. The information collected shows how gated communities, accompanied by a guarantee from the local government, have allowed public-private alliances for water management, even in a special protection area for this kind of construction. In conclusion, this case is a structural impact of recent changes in land use at provincial level with the passage of coffee plantations to a real estate income, but it found the resistance of community actors who have experienced problems of scarcity and water pollution as well as a tension between market visions in contrast to a use public of water. El presente artículo muestra una serie de acciones colectivas comunales que se han opuesto a urbanizaciones cerradas en San Miguel de Santo Domingo en la provincia de Heredia. La carta principal de oposición es el impacto en los acuíferos y la utilización del agua por parte de este tipo de proyectos. La finalidad del artículo es mostrar como una serie de relaciones de poder entre actores económicos, políticos y comunales inciden en la forma de gestionar el recurso. Para esto, se entrevistó a distintos actores comunales, además de una revisión de noticias y documentos institucionales para narrar y comprender el conflicto en la zona. La información recabada muestra como las urbanizaciones cerradas, acompañadas de un aval del gobierno local, han permitido que se presenten alianzas público-privadas para la gestión del agua, incluso en una zona de protección especial ante este tipo de construcciones. Se concluye que este casoes un reflejo estructural de los cambios recientes en el uso de suelo a nivel provincial con el paso de cafetales a una renta inmobiliaria, pero que encontró resistencia ante actores comunales que han experimentado problemáticas de escasez y contaminación hídrica, así como una tensión entre visiones de mercado en contraste con un carácter público del agua.
