Two ‘Mexico’ boards at Camp Hopewell updated
A recent work weekend at Camp
Hopewell provided facelifts for the
boards on Bays 2 and 3 of the Mexico
Building, making it easier for students
to trace system water fows.
The Reverse Osmosis and Softening
(ROS) system in Bay 2 was reorganized
to appear more like the systems
currently being built in the Yucatan.
No process fows or connections
were changed, only the layout of the
equipment.
The new arrangement makes it
easier to understand how water fows
through the sediment flter in turn to
the pump, to the sand flter, the carbon
flter, the water softener and the RO
module to the clean water tank. From
the clean water tank, the water fows
to the bottling pump through the UV
unit and on the bottling area.
Bay 3 was also updated from a
Standard UV System to a Standard
Ozone System. This change will make
each of the teaching bays at Camp
Hopewell consistent with the same
equipment and Standard Ozone System
process.
Bay 6 in the Mississippi Building will
continue to show the Standard Solar
Powered UV System while Bay 1 shows
a typical Tankless UV system.
Special thanks to the volunteers
who helped make these changes during
the work weekend: Floyd Groves, Tom
Pierson and Jerry Vaughan.

Last issue, my corner pertained
to introducing our Five Year vision
process and our new, for comment,
Mission Statement. In this issue the
much longer – and attached –Vision
Statement is being introduced.
LWW continues the commitment
to developing a fve-year visioning and
planning process to guide our work in
2012-2017. In the last
Water of Life
, we
introduced our new, distilled-to-the-
essence Mission Statement to guide our
work. The second step is developing a
more detailed Vision Statement; you
will fnd our proposed statement below,
and please let us know what you think.
We are now in the middle of
the third stage as we have begun
developing concrete goal areas, action
steps and timelines. They were vetted
in teammeetings in November, and
the goal is to present them to our
annual retreat on January 27-29, 2012,
with implementation beginning
immediately.
