Samilpamba Potable Water Project Description
The Denver Professional Chapter of Engineers Without Borders is designing and constructing a potable water project in Samilpamba, Ecuador. Samilpamba is located in the Cotopaxi region of Ecuador, 80 kilometers south to south-west of Quito, the country’s capital. Specifically, Samilpamba is positioned at -0.8019056°S, -78.83341°W. It is a rural undeveloped community of approximately 130 people and 25 houses. Samilpamba owns the water rights to four spring
water sources approximately 1-2 kilometers south of the village. An existing 25-year-old water distribution system is currently in use, but it does not work properly. Only 6 of the 25 houses are consistently served with running water. The villagers in the remaining houses must walk to carry water from surface water drainages or “quebradas.” The goal of this potable water project is to provide spring water through a series of tanks and piping to all 25 houses, plus 4 taps for the village center, for a total of 29 water taps.
The Denver Professional Chapter of Engineers Without Borders needs to raise $40,000 over the course of three years to complete the Samilpamba potable water project. The villagers of Samilpamba have already contributed $500 cash to the project, which is their 5% matching cash donation for the estimated $10,000 cost of the first phase. The villagers will also contribute thousands of hours of labor, as the project will be completed almost exclusively with volunteer labor and a minimum of contracted labor.
