In response to the unfortunate incident at Mahaveer Ranches apartment in Bengaluru, where 100 residents fell ill due to a sudden water contamination problem, DrinkPrime, a Bengaluru-based tech-driven startup specializing in Water Quality and Safety solutions, took immediate action to address the situation.
With a firm commitment to ensuring sustenance and uninterrupted access to safe drinking water, DrinkPrime promptly reached out to its subscribers residing in the affected apartment to prioritize their safety and well-being.
After conducting rigorous water quality testing, the subsequent report revealed some alarming findings.
Vijender Reddy Muthyala, Co-Founder and CEO, DrinkPrime, said, “During the water contamination period, we saw a drop in input water quality on our servers. Our team reached out to 40+ DrinkPrime subscribers residing in the apartment to ensure their safety and scheduled water quality and maintenance checks as part of the #DrinkPrimeComesHome initiative.”
“From the water quality report, we could figure out that the level of total dissolved solids (TDS) and hardness was higher than acceptable limits. This means that the water quality did not conform to IS 10500:2012 drinking water specification for the two parameters. Our IoT servers run with data from our IoT-enabled water purifiers, and the water quality data we got from the samples collected from our subscriber homes have shown similar results.”
Upon reaching out to their subscribers and offering support, the DrinkPrime team went a step further by providing free water quality checks even to non-subscribers. Through this initiative, the team was able to conduct complimentary water quality tests for all concerned individuals who were worried about the potential health effects of contaminated water. Notably, DrinkPrime documented the entire incident along with the testimonials of both subscribers and non-subscribers in a video that was subsequently published to create awareness about the situation.
