During the 2019 Mexico/USA Friendship and Global Grants conference, members of the RC of Prescott-Sunup International Service Committee committed $1000 to support funding of a project called: Drinking Water Multiple System for the Community of San Sebastian, Teziutlan Puebla.San Sebastian is a small poor indigenous community of about 1500 people (240 families). The infrastructure of the drinking water system in the town is badly damaged. Currently the distribution network consists of pipes of different sizes and in different sections, which are in poor condition, but it has a natural spring which can improve the quality of the water supplied to meet the needs of the town.
This project will consist of constructing a concrete holding tank and the installation of a series of valves and PVC pipe to route water to the town center. The Rotary Club
of Teziutlan has been involved in two other Global Grant projects of this nature. The club is engaged with the local government for the construction and maintenance of the new water system. Based on population growth statistics, this system will supply enough fresh water to meet the needs of the town of San Sebastian for the next 20 years.
