About a week ago, MINUSTAH (the name of the United Nations mission in Haiti) came out to test our primary well from which we procure water for all things including drinking. Today they returned with the bad news: Our water is not potable nor will this source ever be - it's contaminated. Our "germ" and e. coli levels are above the normal standard.
Our short term solution is to borrow a potable water tank that the UN has generously offered. Our long term solution is yet to be determined but it may involve the expense of moving our well to a new site. Tomorrow I'll meet with MINUSTAH again to discuss other potential solutions and to give them a formal request letter for the tank.
We love working with the MINUSTAH guys and look forward to challenging them in another game of soccer.
