SEWER REPORT DECEMBER 2015 The “Playa Limpia Committee” met on December 12. * We installed the new President: Pando (Arnoldo Gabino Velazquez). * We are scheduling a meeting in January, with President Carlos in LaHuerta, to ask for matching funds for the gantry and better electrical system of the pumps and a new pump, among other projects to come. * Status of pumps: Check valves may not be functioning well. 25 HP pump has flow rate of 4.2 liters/sec at the pump station; 2.2 liters /sec at the treatment plant. * Need to scrape/paint/maintain the pump station. * Hope to construct the gantry and hoist in January, depending on matching funds from LaHuerta * Discussion about making a bill available to all for water and sewer. * Plan was made for drawing a census map of the present system as an aid to the Engineers Without Borders when they come, hopefully in June or July. * Official announcement: We have been APPROVED by the Engineers Without Borders from the North Coast Chapter, where they have created a successful sewage treatment plant using wetlands. Along the process of studying the system we will be updating you. Now, we need to stand up and be counted as WE HELP MAKE THIS HAPPEN! Part of it is in raising funds to have our part matched by Mexico. Thanks to all who have contributed so far. The money is safely tucked away until we KNOW that we have a proper plan with ˝ payment from LaHuerta. Another help is to form a WORK PARTY to scrape/paint the pump house and surrounding fence. More to follow on a date for the work party. We also need housing and some food for the 5 or so engineers volunteering their time in June or July. Please offer feedback and/or questions in comments below or email me.
