Attempts were made to fish the pump from the borehole, but there was no success for almost two years. During the site visit, we discovered that SNNP Region Water Bureau had managed to lift the broken pump and pipes from the borehole. They also had fixed the pump and replaced the broken pipes, thus making the scheme functional again!
We visited the site after the launching workshop to see for ourselves. The scheme was in need of serious maintenance, but in spite of this water was coming out of the water points! Visiting the site also inspired practical improvement ideas in Girma, Haile and Arto.
