Tank Installation

There is allot of work to erect 2 - 80 foot water towers. 3 wells supply these 2 tanks with clean water. Each well is about 180 meters deep (560 feet). Each well pump supplies water at a rate of 10 - 12 cubic meters per hour. That rate is sufficient for nearly 10,000 people. We have 4300 villagers in Ermoclia, so we have pleny of water available.

Welding Water Tank To Base Foundation

This is how the water tanks are secured to the base foundation. The tower is welded to the base plates while the crane is holding it in place. The welders must ensure that the tank is perfectly vertical. This step in raising the tank is critical because the welds must securely hold the eighty foot tower and tank in place.

Ermoclia Water Tank Raising

This is our major water project we have been working on since we arrived in Moldova. There are 4300 people in Ermoclia, and we want them all to have running water in their homes. We were excited to see the water tanks raised, and see the pipes going to 200 homes,schools, public and government buildings. Our hope is to see all the people in Ermoclia connected to the water system.
