Camarones Community
Camarones, a neighboring town of Tabuga, consists of three spread out neighborhoods. In the spring of 2017, members of the Camarones community noticed our work in Tabuga and contacted us for assistance with providing their community with potable water. Currently, Camarones residents are expected to purchase their water from truck shipments; however, due to seasonal flooding, community members often turn to allocating their water from an untreated river.

Our Solution
Our main goals are to install an electric well pump, implement an appropriate water treatment system, and install a piping network to provide a safe and reliable water supply year round for the community. As always, our projects are built with the community as our first priority. We hold meetings with members in order to learn what their needs are and how we can help achieve them. It is imperative to us that we keep open communication with the community to discuss the progress of our goals. Project Progress
To date, our team has taken three assessment trips to Camarones to survey potential water sources, determine available materials, and gather community insight. Our most recent trip in August 2019 was focused on finalizing data collection and discussing plans with community members. We hope to move forward with a final system design in the near future.
