“…Although the chieftain claimed that when a broken line was present, they tried to fix it either by taping it with rubber and plastic (as illustrated above) or cut the broken hose and rejoin then again using another method. A previous paper by Jambadu et al (2022) depicted that place-based materiality and contextual knowledge in water supply influences repair and maintenance practices.…”

This study seeks to evaluate the community water tank project started by the Community Extension Service Unit (CESU) of Gordon College in Olongapo City, Philippines. A group went to the area to inspect the water tank project during the month of March 2023. They gathered data by observing and documenting the water tank and its surroundings as well as interviewed the chieftain and locals. Based on the documentation, observation, and interviews, they did not give the water tank project priority in terms of proper management and maintenance. The lack of proper knowledge in water tank maintenance contributes to this finding in the community. Based on this premise, the researchers propose a manual for maintaining the water tank for future use.

“…The study of repair and maintenance practices has become an area of particular interest within social science and geographic studies of infrastructure (Barnes, 2017; Carr, 2022; Jambadu et al, 2023; Ramakrishnan et al, 2021; Velho and Ureta, 2019). These works have highlighted the relevance of labour in sustaining not only infrastructures but also the relations that they enable.…”

As the social sciences undergo an infrastructural turn, geographers have taken steps to broaden, disrupt, and reconceptualise understandings of infrastructure and its relationship to social, political, economic, and ecological processes. We contribute to this discussion by highlighting the emergence of a comparatively understudied yet crucial aspect within infrastructural geographies – infrastructural labour. We identify key theoretical anchors that guide contemporary analyses of infrastructural labour, which we query by focusing on five key areas of scholarly discussion. Building on these, we offer a working definition of infrastructural labour to help guide further engagement and point to questions meriting additional investigation.
