Water Storage Tank Repaired

Our house on Mango Avenue now has a 5,000 liter water supply tank/cistern.
During this past week, we worked to repair a 100 year old tank that had leaks in the sides. We hired some local cement workers to repair the inside. Martin, with advice from fellow MCCer Enrique, worked to connect tubes that run from the tank to our house. Now we have a water supply that should last 3 months or so. We have a “back-up” 1,000 liter storage tank on the roof. During the dry season, we have to buy water to fill up the cistern. This water is for everything EXCEPT drinking. We buy all of our drinking water. During the rainy season, the well just up the hill might fill up enough to fill the community cistern (on the left-side of the second picture) as well as our cistern.
