Clearford Water Systems provides update on Long-term Project Financing

OTTAWA, April 12, 2017 /CNW/ - Clearford Water Systems Inc. ("Clearford" or the "Company"), (TSXV: CLI), a TSX Venture 50 Company, today announced that it has substantially completed its long-term project debt financing which was previously announced on May 19, 2017.

As previously announced, Sustainable Water Projects Inc. ("SWP") and Clearford have executed a loan agreement providing up to US$5.25 million to be invested by SWP, in tranches. Clearford has now received substantially all the funding available under this loan.

The funding will allow the Company to continue to move forward on its projects and project opportunities in Ontario through the P4P program for municipalities as well as working with certain private developments which will be required to provide its own services under plans of subdivision within the municipalities. The focus of the Company will continue to be municipalities in the Southwestern Ontario corridor which anticipate higher than average population growth to meet the growing demand of affordable housing within commuting distance of Toronto.

"The Clearford One system and the Pay for Performance delivery model continues to gain traction in the Ontario market" said Clearford CEO Kevin Loiselle. "We have seen significant interests in regions outside of Ontario as well and we believe this is a winning formula that has application worldwide. Our international efforts continue to move forward and we expect to commence construction of Phase 2 of the Cayunda project in Colombia in June 2017", he concluded. Phase 2 of the Cayunda project is expected to generate revenue of $1.1 million dollars.
