Under the terms of the Agreement, TPL, Clearford and its subsidiary Clearford India Private Ltd. will jointly pursue opportunities to deliver the Clearford One® wastewater system for projects in India and globally on a non-exclusive basis.

"The Tata Group are committed to improving the quality of life in the communities they serve, and Clearford is very pleased that Tata Projects recognizes the success of our Jambudiyapura project, the first open-defecation free sewered village in Gujarat State, as a model solution with potential to improve public health in a county where over 600 million people lack access to basic sanitation," said Clearford's President & CEO Kevin Loiselle, speaking from Ottawa, Canada.
