Community Development - Mettur

Water Distribution

Chemplast Samar provides 35 lakh litres of drinking water every day to villages around Mettur. The water has improved the lives of 12,000 families. In addition to the pipeline, Chemplast has built water tanks in partnership with the Government of Tamil Nadu in the 'Namakku Naame' scheme. The Group has adopted the governing principle of not drawing any ground water in order to maintain the water table for the general community. Instead, the company uses desalinated seawater in its coastal plants, although the aquifer runs very close to the surface. This is part of the company’s environmentally conscious water-management strategy.
