Aqua America, Inc. (NYSE:WTR) President and CEO Christopher
Franklin accepted the Green Vision Award from PENJERDEL for the
company’s corporate commitment to environmental quality through its
long history of superior performance in providing high quality
drinking water and wastewater treatment. The award was presented to
Franklin by Cofounder and First Managing Partner of Manko Gold
Katcher Fox LLP Bruce Katcher at PENJERDEL’s 60th Annual Awards
Luncheon held yesterday in Philadelphia.
Franklin cited staples of the company’s environmental efforts in
his acceptance speech. “We are replacing hundreds of miles of old
main to reduce the loss of clean water due to leaking pipes. We’re
investing in new, more efficient pumping and treatment systems at
our plants to reduce the amount of energy required to treat and
deliver water, and to treat wastewater. Four of our water treatment
plants, two in Pennsylvania and two in New Jersey, have solar farms
that complement their traditional energy source.”
“Over the past few years, we’ve invested in compressed natural
gas (CNG) vehicles and now have 48 such vehicles in service in
Pennsylvania and have a CNG fill station at each of our three
operations centers in southeastern Pennsylvania,” said Franklin,
who credited Aqua’s workforce with the company’s achievements.
“The work of our current employees, as well as that of their
predecessors, has allowed us to become one of the fastest-growing
water and wastewater utilities in the country. And it is the
dedication, skill and professionalism of our employees that has
enabled us to achieve and maintain our reputation as a leader in
our industry and to become a “go-to” company for water and
wastewater companies that face operations challenges.”
