Savur Village Water Tank and Network

Three hamlets in the Savur district of Mardin depend on tanker water in summer. The campaign will connect an existing spring to a 50-tonne tank and a 4.2 km polyethylene network, giving 310 people a regular supply of drinking water.

Project scope

• A 50-tonne reinforced concrete tank and a chlorination unit
• 4.2 km of PE pipeline and 6 shared taps
• A water committee chosen from residents, and a metering system
• Water quality analysis and annual maintenance

The total budget is 480,000 TRY. Hamlet residents will contribute voluntary labour to dig the trenches, and this contribution has been deducted from the budget. The project has passed technical approval under a protocol with the provincial special administration.

Timeline and responsibility

Trench digging and pipe laying, with the contribution of hamlet residents, take about 10 weeks. When the network is complete, operating responsibility passes to the water committee and the village headman's office, and the foundation carries out an annual inspection for five years.
