→‎Distribution pipelines and tapstands

====Distribution pipelines and tapstands====

A distribution system of small diameter MPDE pipes, laid in trenches, feeds tapstands around the village. Each tap at the tapstand should serve about 150 people and be positioned to reduce uniformly the maximum distance people have to carry water.

Tapstands have several components: a concrete post supporting a 15mm mild steel riser pipe from the pipeline up to a bibcock, which should discharge at least 0.1 litres per second; a concrete stand on which to place a bucket; a concrete apron to collect spillage; and a gutter and drainage to a soakaway, in order to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes and the development of a muddy mess.
