Five water filtration plants with the capacity of 10,000 liters per hour were installed in different parts of the city to provide clean water to the maximum poor community of the city. Another five filtration plants were installed through matching grant.

About 100,000 persons were getting benefit from these ten Clean Water Filtration Plants daily.

After successful operation of above plants, huge demand for clean drinking water arised in different parts of city arose. There was significant visibility of Rotary projects in city.
