Water plant for school at Kollumedu

Rtn. Tim Johnson had confirmed that his club and district would provide USD 2000 for the water treatment plant at Kollumedu school. The water sample has been taken from the school premises by Jose mathew and has also been tested. The water treatment plant will be ordered for and installed in the school hopefully before the schol re opens after the summer holidays.

The school children have never had safe drinking water in this school and this plant when installed will provide pure drinking water for the school children.

Once the toilet project is taken on and completed, a major step would have been taken in bringing the facilities in the school to reasonable levels in terms of water and toilets. A lot more work has to go in to making this school an institution with reasonable facilties.

The plant has been put through the initial phase of testing and will soon be installed at Kovalam. We hope to inaugurate the plant officially after the elections are over. This will be around mid June.

The Chief Secretary of the State of Tamilnadu has been informed of the project and was very happy about the water treatment plant being installed at Kovalam.
