05.14 Well commissions
Every well/bore hole area
comprises:
- The well or bore hole itself
- The backup hand pump installation
- The washing area
- The enclosure for PV systems and supports
- A guard system for the PV installations
The well commission, elected by the tank commissions, supervises the use
of the structures common to the water supply system, and carries out minor
maintenance operations such as cleaning washing areas, well areas, and backup
hand pump systems. The well commission also regulates use of the well area in
case of crisis or calamity. It collectively receives a small monthly payment in
the local LETS currency (e.g. the equivalent of EURO 5 per month) which it is
free to spend as it wishes. Since women enjoy the greatest benefits from the
execution and on-going management of the project, they should provide most of
the well commission members.
The well commission will nominate one of its members to liaise with the
system maintenance structures set up and with those responsible at tank
commission level for maintenance.
The well commissions will nominate a female candidate from their own
area to monitor the cooperative inspection of the sanitation, rainwater
harvesting, and cooking facilities carried out at tank commission level, and
arrange for her training.
