August 19th Meeting Minutes

Erin - The pump that Agros has set aside for the El Eden community will not work with the flow conditions in the late dry season. Erin will be looking at the ideal pump possibilities from the same company since we know that the Es Casan store in Matagalpa/Managua carries that line. Ashley and Erin to have phone conversation with Mario and Laurie sometime in first week of September to make recommendations and talk about the reasons the system will not work with the current pump.

Lolly/Erin/Kari/Erich - Finishing up Alternatives Analysis reports. All will have reports to Ashley by Friday August 28th at the latest (earlier would be preferred if possible). Ashley to compile analysis reports and have them to Sustainability committee by their next meeting (usually first Monday of the month which should be the 14th with the holiday).

Kari - Going to be in charge of making decision about whether we do both the filtration and the rain catchment design for one house or just the filtration.

Ashley - Has a call in with Peter Waugh with EWB-USA who is our project manager for the project. Wants to ask questions about USA's expectations on reports, timelines, and whether rain catchment/filtration needs to be new "project." Will report when I speak with him.

Now that we have more information from the pump manufacturer, we should be able to move along with the design! Keep up the good work!
