Construction is going well. We have entered into our 5th week of construction, and we are ahead of schedule. The walls for the flocculation tank are nearly complete, and they are putting in the foundation of where the tables for the chlorine barrels and sulfate barrels will sit. There are 7 people working daily under the supervision of Santos. Engineer Wil Serano is at the site at least 3 times a week and in communication with Santos daily to make sure he understands the plans. Overall we are very happy with the progress of the construction.

We got the plans for the conduction line made in 2005 when CESAL rebuilt the first part of the line to review with APP. We will revise these and possibly hike the last part of the line to see where the problem could be.
Saturday 12.6.08 the official handing over of the plant and distribution system to the community took place with Rotary Club members, the Junta de Agua of Tamara and community members. The official manual of how to run the plant written by APP will be handed over to the operator as well.
