Soufriere, Galion, and Scott's Head Water System was breached by adjacent stream flow during Tropical Storm Erika in October 2015

Soufriere Water System Source Spring Capture Structure

Back wall of containment area is natural

Soufriere Community Meeting to Discuss Water System and Other Needs of Community with Cardinal Felix

Conducted numerous water tests at site

Stream water to left and spring water right of wall

Stream has high numbers of fecal coliforms, Source spring has only one colony present due to chlorination

ROADS - Critical for delivery of aid and transport of injured persons

Landslide Mechanisms

Earthen overhang above road to Soufriere - Prone to landslides

Steep slopes make soil stabilization difficult

Flood waters can also destabilize soil and cause failures
