Aplimentec
have been working with The Promise, a Korean NGO, for the installation of new
water supply systems and one system refurbishment in the Asumano Suco in
Liquica.
Aplimentec undertook
the survey and design earlier this year, and have had one staff member, Jeronimo
Pereira dos Anjos, working full time to help monitor construction quality.
When
complete the three systems (Nunupu, Quirilelo Lower, and Quirilelo Upper) will
provide water to approximately 780 people. The construction has been undertaken
by the local communities.
On
Friday Roni and Mathilda from the Promise took Aplimentec staff Lino and Suzie
to visit the water systems (and to help with a couple of technical questions).We
all had a great day inspecting the new tanks and following the pipelines
through the coffee forests back to the newly constructed intakes for the Nunupu
and Lower Quirilelo systems.
A
highlight of the day was visiting the Lower Quirilelo community where the system
is already 90% complete and seeing members of the community using the tap
stands. It’s always nice to see your designs working the way they are supposed
to!
