Friday 3.06 we spent the morning in Tamara. Antonio continued with the training of Jose Luis, the new part-time operator in Tamara, and Justo, one of the potential Cuatro Comunidades operators. Construction of the adobe house near the plant for the operator is advancing. The walls are nearly completed. We were disappointed to hear that the operators had been without chlorine for one or two days. Jose Luis said they had been requesting chlorine from the water board for a week. America, the treasurer of the water board, said the chlorine was on its way. The operators probably should have ordered the chlorine with more anticipation, but the lack of response from the water board is also concerning.

Thursday 3.05, we went to Lepaterique with Angel, one of the SANAA technicians. We visited 4 communities, Rodeo, Guayabal, Son and Jicaro to socialize the project with members of the water boards. In all four communities we met with members of the water board and visited the tanks to see how the flow controllers could be installed. We were unable find any of the operators. While we are somewhat concerned as to whether the operators will be able to devote enough time to the project, we were very encouraged by the enthusiasm of the SANAA technicians. Aside from our study, promoting chlorination in Lepaterique is already a priority for them. A final goal of the project, assuming the AguaClara flow controllers perform well, could be to install flow controllers in all of the 26 communities of Lepaterique.
