Prakash Water Purifier

Down in Jogeshwari on Kazi Syed Street, you’ll find us at Gomes Chawl. Prakash Water Purifier is run from this spot, and it’s a very local way of doing things. The chawl life means everyone knows everyone, and there’s always something happening in the lane. We keep the purifiers and the spare parts inside, where it’s a bit cooler than the street. The air in Jogeshwari can be heavy, and the water needs a lot of looking after, so that’s what we spend our time on. We carry our kits and walk to many of the nearby homes because it’s faster than trying to drive through the narrow bits of Kazi Syed Street. Our hands are usually wet or covered in a bit of grit from working on the machines. It’s not a corporate office with air conditioning; it’s just a room in the chawl where we organize our day. We talk to people about their pipes and their tanks, and we try to make sure their drinking water is okay. Life moves at a certain pace here, and we’ve become part of the rhythm. People know they can just drop by Gomes Chawl and find us if something goes wrong with their filter. We don't use big words or fancy promises, just the tools we have and the knowledge of how these water systems work in our specific corner of the city.
