muskrat Report post Posted August 28, 2007 When I rode around with Ben Brochu, the WM for 37B, we talked a lot about water projects. It seems resources in the Department are stretched thin by times, and if they sub-contract out for a backhoe and operator, it significantly increases the cost of building a water catchment. What he would really like to see, is a donation of an operator and backhoe for a day, maybe 2x per year. That kind of a donation will, in effect, let him build 2 waterholes for the budgeted price of one. It is a safe bet that most of the other WMs in desert units would benefit from the same kind of donation. Ben said even if he could just get the backhoe donated, he could probably scrounge up operators. I'm working on this through other means as well, but also thought I would start posting this up on the message boards. If required, the donations could be tax-deductible. Contact myself, or Ben (he's a member here) for more info. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haywire Report post Posted August 31, 2007 Hey Muskrat. I own a skid steer and a mini-excavator up here in Show Low. I help out in this country when I can. I would be happy to help out in anyway I can anywhere else. If I need to drag my equipment somewhere, I could, or I could offer help as an operator. Let me know how I can help. Thanks, Richard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
