New tanks for Buri

Recently, we had to replace two tanks in Buri Village. These tanks supply water to about 1000 people—but only during two 4-hour windows per day.

The plastic itself is very durable but the connections and fittings are sensitive to movement—say from interested kids—and the HDPE tends to split and becomes very difficult to repair.
