Clean and readily available groundwater is vital to the health and well-being of much of the world’s population, and the success of our water systems business is inextricably linked to this necessity. Pollution of groundwater aquifers represents a clear danger to human health and the environment. We therefore do our part, by lowering our own environmental impact by mandating clean, sustainable manufacturing and distribution processes, and by designing products that themselves protect against environmental damage.
