Power house
Always keep the power house and machinery clean. Ensure that there are no water leakages (from the
turbine and the roof). Animals such as monkeys, birds, squirrels and ants should be prevented from
entering/staying inside the power house. There should be good ventilation inside as electromechanical
equipment can get heated, or the ballast heat could heat up the power house otherwise. The power
house should not be used for any other purposes like running alternative machinery, as a store, or for
cooking.

Water released from the power house should be diverted back to the original stream safely without any
leak or damage to environment. Rubble paving or concreting can minimise soil erosion.
