The camp is now on a delivery schedule (and budget)of a maximum 130 gallons a day. They have enough containers to maintain that but I’m sure some extras (5 or 6 gallon) wouldnt hurt to have so they can stockpile if frugal. 130 gallons (22-23 containers)is the maximum I want to carry in my vehicle, and I am commited to a single delivery daily.

My plan is to pick up clean, ready-to-fill empties at around 5pm daily and return them about an hour later. (Yes, I know this is two round trips, but it’s a short distance and I dont want to deal with having the empties in my truck at other times.)

I have taken several gallons of bleach and will make sure they continue to have enough to maintain their water supply and keep their containers clean and bug-free.

That’s still only about a gallon per person per day though…..

Too early for a real trend, but current use is about 90-100 gallons a day. Hats off to the camp, because that is >very< frugal and responsible use of the resource!

jamjets..

hats off to you.

solving the water crisis has freed other volunteers up for what once seemed like less critical needs.
