| Installing Tubing and Pump |
 |
| Assembling the surface equipment |
Today went as planned - we installed the tubing and pump first. They've started using a new design PVC and pump in the last 2 years and it's so much easier and faster - we had run galvanized pipe; that's a lot heavier and more complicated So, again, this has been an easy week - drilling went well, completion was quick, and tubing and pump installation was easy.

Dedication
(and instructions on use of well and pump) |
There were probably close to 200 people at the dedication - a full house. Even though the community has a well down the road, it's quite a distance to carry water. The pastor who lives next door to the church was also deepening his hand- dug well (unsafe water, but used for showers, washing, and watering the plants). It's been very dry in Nicaragua the past few years, and many of the normal sources of water have dried up.

We did a little touring after the well dedication, and will do more tomorrow before going to the Hotel Hex. (Not sure about that name...)
