Water Infrastructure

Our water infrastructure consists of:

  • Well
  • Submersible Pump
  • Long Hoses
  • Many (under 20) 55 gallon barrels
  • Reverse Osmosis Filtration System
  • Surface Pump (with Pressure Switch at 50psi and strainer)

System Summary

  • The well draws water in from its surroundings.
  • The submersible pump pushes water from the well through long hoses to a 55 gallon barrel.
  • The 55 gallon barrels are linked to each other so as to become a single large water reserve.
  • The surface pump pushes water from the reserve through the long hoses to the residential areas.
  • The residential area has a reverse osmosis filtration system that cleans some of the received water for drinking.
