Clearford Receives Approval for $1.5 million Pilot Project in Delhi, India
OTTAWA, Dec. 14, 2012 /CNW/ - Clearford Industries Inc. ("Clearford" or the "Company"),(TSXV: CLI) today announced the Delhi Jal Board has approved the Clearford Small Bore Sewer™ (SBS™) collection system for use in the village of Bijwasan.
The Delhi Jal Board, the government agency responsible for water and waste water services in the national capital region of Delhi, has provided its approval to Engineers India Ltd. for implementing a pilot project in the village of Bijwasan based on the Clearford SBS™ collection system. Final documentation and commencement of implementation is expected early next year.
The pilot will service a population of 6,000 inhabitants in the village of Bijwasan adjoining the Indira Gandhi International Airport. The national capital region of Delhi has a population of 18.2 million. Over 1.0 million of them reside in 369 villages with an additional 895 unauthorized colonies in Delhi who do not have proper sewage collection systems or sewage treatment plants. Upon successful completion of the pilot, it is anticipated that Clearford's SBS™ system will be selected for implementation in numerous colonies servicing over 100,000 inhabitants.
"We are looking forward to working with our partners Engineers India Ltd. to demonstrate to the Delhi Jal Board the effectiveness of Clearford's SBS™ system in addressing the challenge of dealing with waste water collection and treatment in Bijwasan" said Clearford's President, Kevin Loiselle.
Bijwasan is representative of thousands of villages throughout India that would benefit from the unique ability of the Clearford SBS system to function in low water environments. This initial project under the Delhi Jal Board will be a valuable reference for Clearford.
