This is our "dry" septic well, where we intended to dump our gray water. It turns out the water table is very high, causing the bottom of the pit to collapse and fill with water. As a result, we will have to filter our gray water before dumping it here. All our neighbors, however, just dump their gray and black water right into the water table in the holes they have dug.

| Water was pooling behind our retaining wall, so they installed a gutter on the edge of the shed roof. That helped, but water still runs down from higher up the hill. |
 |
| Water runoff was causing the dirt wall behind our house site, where we will one day install a retaining wall, to begin collapsing. Our workers piled large rocks along the wall to stop the damage. |
 |
| Water from heavy rains is pooling along the classroom building again, working its way behind the mud barrier they installed previously. |
 |
| Water also runs down our driveway, pooling into mud at the bottom. Here, they have re-covered the right half with gravel, but you can see the left is still muddy, awaiting its coat of gravel. |
