YOUR BOOTS ON THE GROUND IN MEXICO!

Global Grant Completion: Village of Ojo de Agua,  Engineered Wetland Wastewater Treatment Facility.

Boots are a good idea when you're measuring raw sewage flow from a village that was discharging directly to Lake Chapala.  This is where a Global Grant makes all the difference - and we're the Club that delivers. The Ojo de Agua Engineered Wetland Wastewater Treatment Facility was declared operational in the summer of 2025.
