A water pump on a street corner in Legazpi, Philippines. Many homes in Legazpi do not have running water, and it is part of the daily chores to get water from one of the many wells and pumps scattered around the city. There are pumps like this one every few blocks. Some of them are out in the open, like this one, and some are enclosed inside a small structure that can be fenced off and locked. I assume that certain pumps are maintained and paid for by certain neighborhoods, and there are written or unwritten rules about who can get water from them – and also how much water they can get. Tricycle drivers are often seen at these pumps filling up large containers of water that they will then deliver to homes around the city
