ROKY Holdings, commissioned by the National Water Supply & Drainage Board (NWSDB), completed a vital water purification project in Kurunegala and Puttalam Districts, installing multiple Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Nano water treatment systems. The initiative aimed to improve access to clean drinking water for schoolchildren and surrounding communities. Several priority schools, such as Norochchola Muslim Maha Vidyalaya and Ambanpola Model College, benefited from the installations. The project responded to urgent health needs by addressing water contamination risks and lack of safe water sources. Partnerships between ROKY Holdings and NWSDB ensured technical expertise and quality oversight throughout the process. Ultimately, the installation sought to enhance public health and daily living standards in these districts.
The project encountered several logistical challenges due to the wide geographical spread of schools across rural and semi-urban areas. Each site presented unique conditions, with existing infrastructure often lacking the capacity to support modern treatment systems. Therefore, the teams had to first assess and upgrade the surrounding civil infrastructure to ensure long-term functionality. Transporting materials to remote locations also required careful planning and coordination. Moreover, maintaining consistent project quality was essential. The NWSDB’s expert teams provided continuous guidance through regular site visits and technical evaluations. Their involvement ensured that each installation met national safety and water quality standards. This rigorous oversight helped resolve on-site issues quickly and increased community confidence in the system’s safety and reliability.
Despite these challenges, the project delivered significant benefits to the local population. Access to clean drinking water helps reduce the risk of waterborne diseases, particularly among children. Improved health directly leads to better school attendance, stronger academic performance, and a more focused learning environment. The installations also reduce the community’s dependency on unsafe water sources. As such, this initiative plays a vital role in addressing long-standing public health concerns in the Kurunegala and Puttalam Districts. It supports both immediate well-being and long-term community development.
ROKY Holdings successfully installed advanced water purification systems at six schools across two districts. The project was completed within the planned timeline while meeting rigorous quality standards. These systems now provide safe, purified drinking water to students, staff, and local residents. As a result, the project significantly improves public health and quality of life. For ROKY Holdings, this achievement reinforces its commitment to sustainable community development. Looking forward, the team aims to expand similar models across underserved regions.
