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.
