Fall 2008 Project: Cuatro Comunidades

As part of the Fall 2008 project work AguaClara is working on designing a water treatment plant with shallower tanks that doesn't need an elevated platform for the plant operator. The full scale pilot facility for this new design will be built in Cuatro Comunidades with the goal of starting construction in September and completing construction by January.
