It is the end of June 2010, and El Transito Arts Center is up and running....
Our two, 2500 liter, water tanks were finally raised some two and half-stories high onto the water tower made up of six strong galvanized steel posts and pillars. It is not to say that building the tower was an easy feat, especially with the unreliable electricity. Welding the steel tower posts in the heavy rain with fading and failing electricity, to say the least, was challenging. But Denis Mendoza, our local construction manager, and his two brothers Carlos and Oscar, and Rodolfo worked diligently to finish the mighty tall tower structure that would allow water pressure to take its natural course (downward) and provide the whole center with enough water pressure without relying on electricity-dependent water pump to generate pressure (as it has been for the last two years). Let there be uninterrupted current of water to take shower and wash the dishes, brush teeth, make coffee in the mornings.
