Rigores Global Grant to provide clean water for 5000 people

The Port Isabel, Texas, and Trujillo, Honduras, Rotary Clubs are preparing a Global Grant to provide clean water to 872 families comprising 5000 people in 5 rural communities near Trujillo.  These communities currently receive their water primarily from a 200,000 gallon tank that was built in 2006.  It serves 7 additional communities.  Ilanga Viejo and Rigores (and its 3 barrios) only receive water every 2-4 days if at all.  10 hand pumps spread around Rigores provide water as available and many homes have created their own pumping systems on their properties.

Barrio Nueva Vida uses a dirty pond to wash their clothes.  A school in Nueva Vida wants to develop a reserve system for its students and has dug a well hole and built a storage tank...they still need a pump and water line from the well to the tank.  We propose to drill a deep well (350 feet) with a 20 HP submersible pump on land below the current tank and the pump will pump the water up to a new 85,000 gallon tank where it will be connected to the old distribution line and will be gravity fed into Ilanga Viejo,  Rigores and its 3 barrios.  Existing water line serving Rigores and two of its barrios will be repaired and new line will be lain to serve the 114 households of Las Uvas and Vida Nueva (both are not connected to the existing system).  A chlorination system will be located near the new tank.  Additionally a pump will be provided for the existing shallow well and tank at the aforementioned school.  (Ilanga Viejo and Ilanga Nuevo are two separate communities...this project will serve Ilanga Viejo).
