This afternoon we had a brief WhatsApp conference call (max of 4 participants on a WhatsApp call) with Martin, Javier, Luz and me.  Eveling was originally invited but she had a conflict today.
Today\u2019s Work Progress:<\/strong>  Martin\u2019s primary work today was fabricating the rebar for the break pressure tank to go near Zeleyda\u2019s house.  Luz provided two photos of his work in progress attached below.
Questions or issues: <\/strong> We discussed the dimensions of the galvanized pipe that he will be putting into the tanks and that he needed to ensure the inlet pipe was threaded to accept a future float valve.
Besides the break-tank questions, Martin also asked about the special tap stand to be placed partway up the hill towards the storage tanks.  He wanted to confirm that the Tee would go into the 2 inch pipe along the road and the water meter for that line would be placed next to the road.  This line is unique in that it will use a 1 inch pipe and a 1 inch water meter because of the distance this tap stand is away from the main water line.  The 1 inch line will be reduced to 1\/2 inch right before the tap stand. 
Tomorrow\u2019s Plans:<\/strong>  Martin expects to complete the pressure break tank tomorrow.  If there is time, he will then start to build the junction valve box nearby that pressure break tank (near Zeleyda\u2019s house).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next call:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0We agreed to hold a similar brief status call tomorrow, Tuesday, at 5:30 pm Nicaragua time.
Other Issues:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Luz brought up a question about tap stand locations: \u00a0The Water Committee was under the impression that we would have a tap stand near Adeleida\u2019s house under the belief that the elevation was no higher than the previously identified tap stand on that route. \u00a0However, Javier\u2019s analysis indicated that Adeleida\u2019s house was indeed at a higher elevation than the EPAnet model analysis would support, so, no, that tap stand was not possible. \u00a0Luz said that in that case, our KML files showed that the last tap stand along that route was the one placed at the church. \u00a0I took an action to investigate that – may initial belief was that our original design did include at least one tap stand closer to Adeleida\u2019s house than the church, but I\u2019ll need to confirm that. (Subsequently resolved. \u00a0Javier sent out an updated KML file this afternoon which now shows STN 48A at the location of the original STN 48, partway up the road towards Adelayda\u2019s house.)
