Water Project
In 2004, several years of drought was drying up the boreholes that provide water to St. Albert’s hospital and the entire mission. To keep the hospital open, Elizabeth had an earthen dam built that blocks a seasonal stream on the hospital’s farm land. The resulting reservoir should provide an alternative water supply for the hospital and mission.
The dam is about two tenths of mile long. As shown below, it stands about 10 feet above the water line.
