Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Yorba Linda

Total Budget: $7,174

Area of Focus: Water, sanitation and hygiene

Activity Type: Water: Sanitation

Summary: Create molds to produce septic tanks in Mexico for use in rural villages in Baja Norte currently using pit toilets


There is an opportunity to use a sample of the the septic tanks that YLSRC/Corazon has successfully installed over 30 times in the Corazon communities south of Tecate, Mexico to create molds in the US that will allow these tanks to be built in Tijuana at greatly reduced costs.

By eliminating or reducing transportation costs, Import Duties and labor rates, the biggest single expense of a sanitation system (the tank) will be reduced by 50%.

Recent increases in material and labor costs from our traditional supplier of these septic tanks has driven the cost of a tank from approx. $650 in 2017 to well over $1000 today, putting the sustainability of our Sanitation Initiative in jepordy.

When produced in Tijuana these tanks will cost approx. $500 each with a likely increase in quality.
