GUELPH, Ontario, Oct. 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Current Water Technologies Inc. (TSX-V: WATR) ("CWTI" or "the Company" or "the Corporation"), Pumptronics division receives new sales totalling $400,000 in September/October.
Notably, the Company’s recent sales include sustained/multiple sales within the City of Toronto. Sales to large municipalities in Ontario is an emerging trend for the Pumptronics Division, which had historically served the golf industry and the small municipality market. In 2016, several Ontario cities, including Toronto and Mississauga, enacted legislation to charge property owners for the transport and treatment of stormwater (rainwater, surface runoff, and groundwater) discharged to municipal sewers. To reduce the annual charges, municipalities have encouraged new construction projects to add the infrastructure necessary to capture and reuse rainwater for green space irrigation and/or non-potable requirements. This important water management initiative contributes to the sustainability of urban communities as green terraces and roof top gardens become common place.
The City of Toronto is the first city in North America to mandate green roofs on all large buildings. The over 700 green roofs provide space for farming and recreation. Onsite stormwater management is an economical, sustainable and vital infrastructure to help in reducing the use of potable water for landscape irrigation, and the burden on municipal water supplies and wastewater systems.
Since late 2020, Pumptronics has dedicated resources to develop custom products and services for the commercial property stormwater management sector in Ontario. A total of 48 quotations has been issued for stormwater pumping systems in this emerging market, totalling approximately $1,600,000. In September/October alone, Pumptronics has received purchase orders for 5 Rainwater Harvesting Pumping Systems and expects to secure numerous additional sales before year-end.
Dr. Gene Shelp, Current Water’s CEO, said, “We are very pleased to see the continuing growth of our traditional pumping business in the national market and particularly into large municipalities. Pumptronics considers commercial property stormwater management an important niche market that has the potential to grow significantly as the Company expands its marketing efforts within and outside Ontario. Our pumping business has become an invaluable addition to the Company, complementing new major opportunities with our global AMMEL and ESD business lines. Current Water has never been better positioned for significant growth.”
