The Rotary Clubs of Provo and Grand Turk have tackled the project of repairing the water tanks that provide storage of potable water for the island of Grand Turk and are a critical part of the public water supply system.  They were badly damaged in the hurricanes.

In addition to the funds raised by the Rotary Club of Provo, Carnival Cruise Lines and the United Way of Miami donated generously and made this project possible.

Here is a picture of one of the tanks at the Medical Clinic.  The tank has been drained, power washed and emptied.  The wooden rafters were inspected and repaired or replaced as required.  The battens on the top were replaced with 2x4's to strengthen the design.  The metal sheeting will go on top and be screwed to the 2x4 battens.

We are obviously delighted by how quickly our partner, Projetech Construction, has moved on this project.  There are several other tanks to be repaired and we are well on track to have this completely prior to hurricane season.  Way to go Projetech!
