Cistern

We now have a cistern that will hold about 5280 gallons of water (about a mile's worth)!  This is important because there are times when the water lines break far away in the mountains somewhere, and it takes the community leaders a while to find and repair the break.
Installing the rebar grid for the
concrete sides and bottom.

Checking the rebar measurements for the lid.
Putting on the finishing coat of smooth concrete.
The cistern will rest and dry for a couple of months
before painting with sealant.
