Water Solutions

Here in Libreville, you can count on water service most of the time. However, there are times when the water pressure is low or even completely turned off. The solution? A 1,000 liter reservoir and pump! They are located in the backyard, along the back wall of the house near the center. It is filled mainly by rain water and, if need be, is supplemented by tap water when there is service. This solution has worked well for many years, however...

Recently, we've had some days when the guest house has been full and the water has almost completely been used up. Also, we've been cautioned to keep additional amounts of water on hand for security issues that might occur in Gabon in the next months. The new solution? Add another 1,000 liter reservoir!

Here's the plan: we're going to "stack" the two reservoirs in the corner back wall. We'll need to "tilt" the rain spouting the other direction, pour a concrete foundation, and construct some sort of stacking frame with a way to funnel overflow from the top reservoir to the bottom.

We'll take some pictures and keep you apprised of the progress as we go along.
