Clearford Water Systems Commences Installation of Clearford One™ to Provide $1 million Wastewater Collection and Treatment ...

OTTAWA, Aug. 24, 2015 /CNW/ - Clearford Water Systems Inc. ("Clearford" or the "Company"), (TSX-V: CLI), today announced commencement of installation of Clearford One™ to service the Fetherston Mobile Home Park in North Grenville Ontario. The system will collect and treat sanitary sewage for 46 permanent residences. Clearford also will acquire the existing potable water treatment system which includes ultra violet purification by the Hallett® system manufactured by UV Pure Technologies Inc. of Toronto, a subsidiary of Clearford.

The $1 million system is designed, funded, installed and operated by Clearford Water Utility (Fetherston) Inc. under a 30 year Service Agreement with Fetherston Mobile Home Park Association. The Association will pay a fixed charge of $221.24 plus HST per month per residence, adjusted annually to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index. The system is scheduled to be operational before year end 2015. This Clearford Pay For Performance™ delivery model is available to Municipalities in Ontario and was announced in January 2015.

The Clearford One ™ system is based on distributed treatment at the sewage source in ClearDigest™, collection of liquid outflow from ClearDigest™ through a small bore flexible pipe network, ClearConvey™, and final treatment meeting all regulatory requirements performed by ClearDigest™.

For Fetherston, ClearDigest will incorporate a packaged Membrane BioReactor (MBR) supplied to Clearford by Koester–Team Aquatic (KTA). Operation of the Fetherston system has been contracted by Clearford to KTA, an established Ontario operator of wastewater treatment plants. Clearford retains full responsibility for the system with service functions performed by KTA.

"Clearford One™ provides this community with wastewater management service that is affordable for residents while providing environmental performance superior to conventional systems ", said  Kevin Loiselle, Clearford's President and CEO. "We believe that Clearford One™ and the Pay For Performance™ delivery model will allow many communities in Ontario to meet wastewater management needs without being burdened by debt and with full life cycle service charges significantly lower than the cost of conventional systems," Mr. Loiselle said.
