The Las Majadas Water Supply Project is in the implementation phase. We are currently working on three separate facets to move the project forward. Conduction Lines, Distribution Lines, and Pump, Electrical, and Chlorination System
Conduction Line is currently in Phase 1, where CAD drawings are being revised and valve locations are chosen.
Distribution lines have been modeled in EPA net and have received feedback and will be revised per feedback received.
Draft of distribution system model
Pump, Electrical, and Chlorination System is currently being designed and purchased.

Barton & Loguidice announced this year’s winner of their annual Community Service Award. The award is given to B&L employees who are working on ongoing and extraordinary projects to help provide a better life to those in need of help. B&L awarded this year’s grant to William Guida, who donated his $2,000 award towards EWB’s water supply project in Guatemala. This remarkably gracious donation puts EWB over 66% towards our financial goals for the project. Thank you William Guida and Barton & Loguidice for your generosity and help to making this project happen!
A big thank you to all who took part in the happy hour event which raised nearly $800 for EWB Syracuse’s water infrastructure project. It was a great success complete with vegan tacos, cold beer, and EWB’s own Dan Kahn putting on a great show.

The Syracuse Professional Chapter of Engineers Without Borders and ArtRage Gallery presented “La Camioneta” by Mark Kendall. The film follows the journey of a decommissioned school bus from the United States to Guatemala.
Kendall’s film takes the viewer on “a journey between North and South, between life and death, and through an unfolding collection of moments, people, and places that serve to quietly remind us of the interconnected worlds in which we live.”
