As a CSR initiative, Richard Peiris & Company PLC (Arpico) recently donated a total water solution to Welewewa Sumedha Vidyalaya in Anamaduwa which coincided with the observances of the UN International Day for Eradication of Poverty organised by the United Nations Information Centre (UNIC) Colombo.
Under this program, Arpico Partnered with the UNIC to assist the school in setting up a model farm for the benefit of the school children and to enhance their knowledge on agriculture with the use of modern technology. The total water solution for the purpose was provided by Arpico using Arpico water tanks, Arpitech water pumps and Arpico PVC pipes and fittings.
The International Poverty Eradication Day program organised by the United Nations Information Centre – Colombo (UNIC) was under the theme ‘Modern Use of Technology in Agriculture’.
Richard Peiris & Company PLC Business Development Manager, Local Manufacturing Distribution Sector Dilshan Abeysekera, speaking on the total water solution provided by the company, stated: “Arpico, which is a leader in Sri Lanka for providing total water solutions, has rendered an enormous service and is ever dedicated for the betterment of the livelihoods of the country. Therefore we make it our priority to enable clean water availability at important public places. In a recent research carried out by our company, it was identified that most of the rural schools lacked access to proper water systems. We are firmly committed to make it our priority to focus on other such projects in the near future.”
Twenty years ago Arpico introduced the first plastic water tank and is ISO 9001:2008 certified for its unique manufacturing process. Arpico triple layer tanks, Arpico sump tanks, aqua tough tanks, Arpico septic tanks, Arpico garbage bins, green gas unit and Arpico compost bins are some of the novel products manufactured by the company, which is the leader in providing a complete water solution with Arpico PVC pipes and fittings and rubber and PVC hoses.
Arpitec water pumps are available in 32 models and the premium models are built using lead free non-corrosive metals, which will not add any substance to the water during the process and deliver water for domestic, industrial and agricultural sectors. The Arpitec doorstep service is another innovation by Arpico to service the customer within the shortest period of time to ensure uninterrupted water supply.
