The borehole was tested on 17 March and it was all working very well. The tall metal structure you see in the photos was used to help the engineers sink the borehole deeply enough to make sure there was water at any time of year.
Now we are applying for electricity from NAWEK (National Water and Electricity Company) to pump the water up, which apparently takes a long time to get. There are quicker short-term alternatives, but eventually the school will need its own electricity anyway, so we think it’s best to go ahead with the application. Our chair Diane will look at whether there’s other sustainable options when she visits the school this month.
