• Avensys Corporation sells 125 Isco flow meters to be used in the Regional Municipality of York wastewater systems
MONTREAL, PQ, Canada, Feb. 11, 2008 -- Avensys Corporation announced that Avensys Environmental Solutions, a division of its wholly-owned subsidiary Avensys Inc., a leading manufacturer and distributor of fiber optic components and integrator of instrumentation and turn-key systems for environmental monitoring, received an order for 125 Isco 2100 Series Flow meters to be used in The Regional Municipality of York's wastewater systems in Ontario, Canada. The order is estimated to be worth approximately $500,000 and will be delivered in first the quarter of 2008.
Earth Tech Canada, working on behalf of York Region, will use these flow meters to complete a comprehensive Inflow and Infiltration Assessment. This study will consist of a region-wide analysis of wet and dry weather flows within each of its nine municipalities and on the Regional wastewater system.
