A shared point to strain and boil stream water

In many hill neighbourhoods the stream is the drinking water. In the rains it turns muddy and stomach illness rises. Not every home always has fuel to boil water separately. Build a small shelter in the middle of the neighbourhood. Stream water is strained through clean cloth and boiled together in a big pot. When it cools, each family fills its own container. A few people take turns to look after the fire and keep things clean. At a community meeting also agree not to wash clothes or bring animals into the stream upstream during the rains. You need a shelter, a large pot, fuel and a rota.
