• Strategic alliance brings together the nation's leading water storage tank maintenance provider with the manufacturer of the world's most efficient water mixers
PERRY, GA, & SAN RAFAEL, CA, Aug. 4, 2009 -- Utility Service Co. Inc. (USCI), the nation's leading supplier of water storage tank maintenance services, and PAX Water Technologies Inc. (PAX), an award-winning water technology research and engineering group, announced an exclusive partnership agreement today.
Under the agreement, Utility Service Co. will offer the PAX Mixer, a submersible active mixing system designed for potable water storage tanks, as part of its WaterMix™ program. The WaterMix™ Solutions program is designed to enable water managers to achieve cleaner water, more stable operations and reduce the risks of non-compliance through a combination of unique technologies and regular maintenance. Utility Service's nationwide staff of experienced tank maintenance crews is trained to install the PAX Water Mixer and ensure its reliable operation. Utility Service Co. will be the exclusive distributor in the eastern, central and southern United States.
"The partnership with PAX will enable Utility Service Co. to provide our customers with the latest technology to enhance our overall asset maintenance services and improve water quality," said Chris Boyd, president of Utility Service Company.
The PAX Mixer is a small submersible mixing system that actively circulates water throughout a tank or reservoir, and has been proven to eliminate thermal stratification and ensure thorough distribution of disinfectant residual. The PAX Mixer allows water managers to maintain water quality, optimize storage, conserve water, reduce energy and reduce chemical inputs -- saving time, money, and labor.
The PAX Water Mixer was voted the winner of the People's Choice Award in the AWWA New Technology Showcase in 2007.
