El Tecuan, HondurasFrom EWBNEU_Wiki(Redirected from El Tecuan)
Project SummaryIn August 2005 two students and their professional mentor traveled to El Tecuan with a representative from ACTS as well as another EWB group working in the area. The team conducted a full assessment of the situation in the village. This assessment found there was unreliable service on the east-line of the village's water distribution system and the pressure here was also inadequate.The team returned with enough data to begin considering solutions for the problem. During that school year the students in EWB considered multiple options for improving the water service in El Tecuan. After much consideration the group decided the best option would be to replace a section of the main distribution line with a larger diameter pipe. A team of 5 students and their professional mentor returned to Tecuan the following April to work with the villagers to install 1200' of new 2 in pipe to replace the aging and clogged 1-1/2in pipe already in place. After working through some clogs in the system the the team finally saw running water with improved pressure by the end of their trip.
