To clarify, that is his choice not to have running water as the village has water to the property line.
The village itself just got a new water well drilled (55 feet deep) with good quality water. Also the a new lift station was built. Waste water goes to lift station, which is then pumped to the lagoon. And new lagoon cells built away from a visible location. Will reduce nutrient loading in the lakes. New water line will improves the quality of water by reducing incidents of brown and discoloured water and improving disinfection. The UN (CLEM is a grassroot organization of the UN) gave the village a water award for achieving 5 UN goals.

So far no go. RF energy health concerns cited from nearby residents.
Coyotes running around in the community again.
