Opening ceremony in Madagascar

Last year, Trunz Water Systems and its suppliers supported the Swiss non-profit organisation ADES by installing a solar powered water treatment system in the framework of a pilot project. In May 2010 the drinking water station was inaugurated by the Mayor of the community St. Augustin.

Since more than half a year the Trunz Water System has been operating at the Solar Centre from ADES and produced clean drinking water for the inhabitants in and around the Centre. Recently, the unit was dislocated to its final destination – the village St. Augustin in the Southern Area of Madagascar. With high dedication the local ADES technician digged a well and installed the unit in a protected place. With an inauguration celebration the drinking water station was taken into operation. The technician proudly presented the system to the Mayor and all guests from the village. Especially children were very happy about the clean water which they can taste now virus and bacteria free.
