Bainbridge Prepares’ Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Team will conduct a briefing for Islanders who own and op[erate fresh water wells for residential purposes. The goal is to increase islanders’ water readiness by providing them with practical information on

• the maintenance of residential water wells

• improving the well’s ability to survive a major earthquake

• considerations for and equipment necessary to safely reactivate a well after a substantial earthquake

You should attend if you use any form of a residential water well and/or if someone else maintains it for you. After an earthquake, you will be on your own in terms of acquiring potable water and assessing and reactivating your well.
