WHAT WE WERE PROMISED
WHAT WAS
DELIVERED
BIG SKY ROADS
WHAT WE INHERITED
• Inadequate drainage, roads washed out with rains
• Fences checked
• HOA currently maintains only those areas that are finished, and that make sense to
maintain.
BIG SKY WATER
WHAT WE INHERITED
• Two failed wells
• Trevor’s father’s water system design (did not work)
• Stolen pump at well
• Illegal hookup to village water
• Stolen power from House #23
• Cheap pipes and improper fittings that burst regularly
• No “AS-BUILT” plans for water system
• Broken upper holding tank “It fell off the truck…”
WHAT WAS DONE SINCE:
• Established where system pipes were located
• Drilled two successful wells
• Well #1: Recovery slow, using as backup
• Well #2: 60m deep, good recovery, using as primary source
• Stopped stealing power from #23
• Installed grid power from Escamequita to Well #1
• Replaced a myriad of burst pipes and fittings with better quality
• Repaired upper holding tank (the one that ‘fell off the truck’)
• Built pump house that can be secured to prevent theft
• Installed meters and are currently billing consumers
ALONG THE WAY…
• ‘Appropriated’ Blue’s water pump
• Long term solution for pumping water from well to upper tanks
