The water treatment plant at Kovalam was inaugurated by DG W. Anand on Friday the 4th as scheduled. The inauguration took place with the auspicious sounds from folk instruments played by a small group of musicians hired for this purpose.
Well attended by District officials and members of RCCK the event was a grand success.
This project will enable over 600 households to get their requirement of drinking water within the village itself. Each household spends over Rs 600 per month on their water requirements and this plant will help them save this money.
RCCK pledged to do more for the people of Kovalam and has already initated a lireacy project in the village.

Kovalam water treatment plant - Inauguration
The Kovalam plant will be inaugurated by the DG of 3230 on 4th September (Friday) at Kovalam at 5 PM. Work is going on at an hectic pace to ensure that all work is completed for the event.
Chennai Kilpauk is looking at a longterm association with the village through RCC, literacy and other projects which will change the lives of its residents.
This project a joint effort of the RC of Dublin and RC of Chennai Kilpauk with support from The Rotary Foundation will provide safe drinking water to the residents of the Kovalam village. Rtn. Arthur McCullough provides active assistance in this project.
Over a thousand people will immediately benefit by this project and will no more have to buy their water for drinking or cooking.
This is a good example of how Rotary is making this world a better place to live in.

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.

Water treatment plant for Kollumedu school
Our President Jose and I visited the Kollumedu school with the objective of inspecting the site for providing them with a plant for drinking water. Rtn Tim Johnson has kindle consented to raise the funds required to provide the school with a water treatment plant. We will have the plant installed at the school during the summer holidays and ensure its readiness when the school reopens.
The water treatment plant is a must for this school as the sample tested in a labaratory indicates that the water provided at the school is not safe and needs to be treated before consumption.

Water treatment plant set to arrive today
Today we expect the water treatment plant to arrive in Chennai. There is still a little bit of documentation work that has to happen and all efforts are being made to get everything done and clear the plant at the earliest.
The letter from Collector - Kancheepuram that will enable us to clear the plant without payment of duty is yet to be received.
There is a lot of excitment in the air and the prospect of getting this large project done so as to benefit many thousand families is motivating in itself.
