Here’s the latest news from Eerek and Pilvi Priesfreund. Earlier this summer their well went dry during our children’s camp. We discovered during the summer that a new well would have to be dug and a new pump installed. The process would involve a lengthy wait for the proper paperwork to go through and more waiting still to secure the services of a driller. The drilling and the new pump were estimated to cost 80,000 kroons or about $6,500.
Since Lea and I last saw the Preisfreunds in July, the family has been bringing water to the house in daily trips to a neighbor’s well and taking showers at their workplaces. Thankfully, they have received all the right permissions to go ahead with drilling and are close to being able to account for the cost. Here is the latest news we received today in an email from Pilvi:
Hello,
I’ve got good news to share: we now have a well dug in the yard! We don’t yet have water coming to the house, but this is a big step in the right direction. We are so happy!
Pilvi
Please join us in praying that the pump installation and hook-up will go quickly and smoothly and be in place well before the onset of winter cold.
