Supetai Well

Supetai Well

The Supetai Well was drilled to a depth of 95 meters.  Steel casings were inserted to a depth of 65 meters due to the soft soil and sand located at the site.  The drillers tapped into an underground river which produces more water from the well than the original 30 cubic meters per day projected.

The construction of the Supetai well consists of 8” diameter outer casings with 6” steel plain and perforated inner casings following the design created by the supervising hydrologist.  The borehole was then properly developed, gravel packed and sealed to avoid any contamination from shallow aquifers.  The well was fitted with a solar powered pump connected to a solar panel grid.  A pump house was constructed to house the controls for the solar equipment and store the harnessed power.  A 10,000 liter holding tank was placed on top of the pump house to allow for storage of the well water and create immediate access to the water for the women.  In addition, a public bathing room and 3 toilets were built to provide proper sanitation measures and to keep the area around the wells clean and uncontaminated. The tower and tanks were added in 2024 to hold the water purified by the reverse osmosis system and gravity allows it to flow to Naretu Academy for use by the teachers and students.

Reverse Osmosis

In 2024, Sabore’s Well received a grant to purchase and install a reverse osmosis system that produces clean drinkable water for the whole community. To assist with keeping the system working and in good order, you can help by donating here.
