When we arrived here 6 years ago, there was a low-yield borehole which, it seems, used to live inside a stone walled pump house. I imagine at one point in time it looked rather pretty with its white and purple bougainvillea bushes growing up the brown stone walls, but having tried for a few years to prune and nurture the bushes back to life, we finally decided to pull them out and level the old borehole housing.
