Connecticut Water Service, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTWS), today announced
the availability of the Company’s 2018 Corporate Sustainability
Report. The update demonstrates the company’s progress and
milestones in achieving its environmental and social goals. The
report covers the achievements and activities of Connecticut Water,
Maine Water, Avon Water and Heritage Village Water companies, which
are all publicly regulated water or wastewater utility subsidiaries
of Connecticut Water Service in Connecticut and Maine.
“It is fitting that Connecticut Water’s Corporate Sustainability
Report is issued on Earth Day,” stated David C. Benoit, president
and CEO of Connecticut Water. Mr. Benoit added, “Water utilities
were among the first environmentalists. The forward-thinking people
who created public water systems understood the link between the
environment, safe drinking water, good health and economic
prosperity. We are pleased to share this report on behalf of our
employees, nearly 300 men and women, who are also forward thinking
and committed to providing reliable water and wastewater service
and high-quality drinking water in a way that respects the
environment and serves families, communities, employees and
shareholders.”
Among the highlights in the 2018 report:
- Partnership with the Coastal Mountains Land Trust to preserve
approximately 1,400 acres of watershed land in Camden and Rockland,
Maine, for open space and recreation.
- Nearly 3,000 third-graders taught by Connecticut and Maine
employee volunteer “teachers” through the Water Drop Watchers
program, which was launched to raise awareness of water
conservation and protection.
- Leak detection efforts saved more than 240 million gallons of
treated drinking water since 2016 by finding and repairing
underground leaks.
- 22% fewer company business miles driven in Connecticut in 2018
when compared with 2008 while serving 18% more customers over the
same period.
Connecticut Water issued its first Corporate Sustainability
Report in 2012 and issued an updated report in 2016. The company
