Partnership with University of Chicago Institute for Molecular Engineering

The Board of Water Intelligence, a leading provider of non-invasive leak detection and remediation solutions, is pleased to announce a partnership as an industrial affiliate of the Institute for Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago (IME).

Dr. Patrick DeSouza, Executive Chairman of Water Intelligence plc commented:

"We are delighted to collaborate with IME and admire its global reach. We look forward to commercializing IME technologies to provide non-invasive solutions to problems of water loss from leakage and problems emerging from the increase in "gray" water because of our decaying infrastructure. Customers for our American Leak Detection (potable water) and NRW Utilities (non-potable water) brands will welcome IME's innovation."

Dr. Matthew Tirrell, Dean and Founding Pritzker Director of the Institute for Molecular Engineering commented:
