This is a badge bit (
BB) that is part of the
PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the
wood badge in
Plumbing.
In this Badge Bit, you will install a large and, dare I say elegant, cistern for a community. All components need to be winter capable for your area without using heat tape or other band-aids. Gravity
feed or a pump to the community is fine. The idea is that the cistern improves the quality of the
water over time.
Minimum requirements to get this BB:
- cistern deep
enough to not freeze
- 5000 gallon minimum capacity
- the whole system is freeze protected (without heat tape or other band-aids)
To show you've completed this Badge Bit, provide proof of the following as pics or
video (less than two minutes):
- the site before you start work
- cistern hole dug
- tank(s) in place
- piping under construction
- piping done
- backfilled and finished
