Quest Building Repair and Maintenance Services partnered with Happy Shine Garden Shop and San Carlos Elementary School to install a water system bring clean water to the school for drinking, cooking, hand-washing, and vegetable garden irrigation. The system includes a 1,000 liter water tank, tank stand, water pump, pipes, and faucets.
