Today was an exhausting day. It is a holiday here in India, and one that is especially celebrated down here in Andhra Pradesh. That being said, it made us feel somewhat guilty having the villagers work all day, as we needed their help to trench and get the piping ready for the plumber to make his connections. In the end, it was a long day, but we did it! All of the piping is cut and ready for the plumber to connect tomorrow. We also had a mason on site to install the precast concrete rings that we will be using for the settling basin (at the inlet of the wetland) and the valve pit (for the ball valve at the outlet of the wetland). The mason also needed to install some steel mesh and concrete to give the rings a bottom. He also made holes in the precast rings for the necessary piping.
Tomorrow we will work on backfilling the wetlands. We will try to accomplish as much as possible as it is our last work day in the village.
