TIMES NEWS NETWORK  25.09.2018

A community water supply plant was inaugurated in Selaiyur on Monday, which will help supply water to over 500 low-income families in the area. Residents can use the kiosks to fill water in 20-litre capacity cans at a cost of ₹7 for 20 litres. The plant has been built within the premises of the Municipal Higher Secondary School, Selaiyur, and over 500 people belonging to low and middle income families residing in the area are expected to benefit from it. The plant was built by United Way, an NGO, and Water Life, India, at a cost of ₹35 lakh.

To access the water, residents will have to purchase a smart card membership and swipe it at the kiosk to collect the required quantity of water. The cards can be recharged periodically, said a spokesperson from United Way Chennai, adding that it will cut down on the daily expenses incurred by these families on purchasing drinking water.
