25th Mtg of the SMA Midday Rotary Water Project

Record of Event pg 1 of 1
25th Mtg of the SMA Midday Rotary Water Project

Where: Cedesa Dolores
When: 16.04.09 2.30 – 4:30
Who: Chela, Holly Yasui Benigno (Cedesa), Laura
Purpose: Planning of Phase II of the project (Cisterns for 27 families), discussion re roof types, filter possibilities, purchase of materials & general catch up.

Filter options, there are various methods of removing bacteria & viruses (should there be any) from the water.

Cedesa have been testing the efficacy of the methods during their weekend water diploma workshops. Still to determine the best option. Or whether in fact any filter is necessary.

Maintenance instructions, Benigno & Chela gave me a copy of each of their booklets, (they have booklets for each technology they teach). I will copy the cistern booklet & give it to the Delegada & her husband in Los Torres, for community reference.

Cisterns in school, maybe the children at the school could join in during construction.

Nopal orchard at the school – Benigno to look at the orchard when he is at the school overseeing the construction of the cisterns.

Purchase of materials in bulk – there could be a big discount on the cost of the materials, since we are purchasing in bulk. There may be the possibility of putting this saving towards phase III & reducing the cost of Phase III.
