### Mathakoil

[](http://thewaterproject.org/community/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/mathakoil.jpg)This is Well #6, given by Northview Christian Church.

> The villagers using this project were previously forced to take water from sources which were really unfit for consumption. The overhead tanks built by the government are not supplying water due to limited power and even when water was in the tank it was dirty and unsafe.   As a result of this project, now with the bore well in their locale, they can drink confidently.
