sustainable, that they need to plan now for it to last for a long time.\u00a0 The money they collect is deposited in a bank account and kept for maintenance.\u00a0 \u00a0She described how instead of talking about selling water, they are calling the fee collected a contribution for maintenance.\u00a0 They are working in the community to educate the population about why a maintenance contribution is important.\u00a0 I commented to one of the visitors that hard and complicated as it was to install the well and distribution system, this \u201csoft\u201d work is the most critical and
