Evoqua Announces Launch of Second Annual Water Sustainability Awards

PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evoqua Water Technologies (NYSE: AQUA), an industry leader in mission critical water treatment solutions, today announced it has launched the second annual Evoqua Water Sustainability Awards. The awards recognize excellence in water stewardship, including companies using new or existing technologies in innovative, sustainable ways and companies that have made significant strides in water reduction.

Evoqua will nominate companies from among its more than 38,000 customers for their sustainability efforts to treat, reuse, and conserve water. Finalists will be announced in March, with the winner announced on World Water Day, March 22, 2019.

“Evoqua and our customers have a responsibility to those we serve and to the environment of protecting the world’s most precious finite resource - water,” said Ron Keating, Evoqua CEO. “We are privileged to partner with so many organizations who have the same goals for sustainability that we do, and we are excited to again highlight an organization that goes above and beyond.”

This past March, Cintas Corporation was named Evoqua’s inaugural Water Sustainability Awards winner. Cintas demonstrated leadership in sustainability by taking steps to lower water use and minimize environmental impact at several facilities through enhanced wastewater treatment, as well as enhanced water reuse efforts.

Evoqua is committed to helping its customers use and treat water sustainably.
