AguaClara water treatment plants for safe water on tap

We recognized that there are millions of small cities and towns that have contaminated water on tap. These communities struggle to maintain their water supply and distribution systems because households aren’t willing to pay much for dirty water. We’ve demonstrated with 23 water treatment plants in Central America that once a town has an AguaClara water treatment plant that households are willing to pay a higher water tariff and the whole water supply system becomes sustainable. A major reason why achieving the SDG goal for safe water has been difficult is that the global community has been unable to go the whole way to safe. The poor quality of water delivered makes the entire water supply system unsustainable because households aren’t willing to pay very much for water that isn’t safe to drink. A major reason why communities don’t have safe water on tap is because there haven’t been any technologies that work reliably for small cities and towns. AguaClara water treatment plants are revolutionary because they were designed from the ground up to work for communities. Our nearly 100% success rate in sustainable delivery of safe water in Honduran and Nicaraguan communities demonstrates that going the whole way to safe water on tap results in a sustainable service.
