In 2020, mechanical upgrades were implemented at the borehole site to improve the pumping mechanism from the aquafor, 2 miles of piping was installed from the borehole to the distribution site, a water treatment house/storage unit was constructed and a reserve osmosis (RO) unit was fabricated and delivered to the Kailer village site in early 2021. The RO system was installed and final payments were made to the vendors upon successful completion of this phase of the water project in 2021.
