Plans for the cistern have been completed. Our draftsman updated seven pages to our building plans for the cistern. Meanwhile it has been raining continually for the past several days. If the cistern was complete already, we would probably have a full cistern!
Water is very costly on the island during dry season therefore building a cistern is cost effective in the long run. On a side note, San Pedro had little to no rain for several months during dry season.
Two building sites have been very helpful for our understanding of cisterns and construction in general. Below are some of the pictures from those sites to help you see what we will be experiencing in the near future when the building begins. Notice the amount of plywood, rebar and concrete that goes into the work.
