TOWN OF WALKER VERY PLEASED WITH FAST IMPROVEMENT IN EFFLUENT FROM IN-PIPE TECHNOLOGY TREATMENT OF TOWN'S WASTEWATER


WALKER, LOUISIANA and WHEATON, ILLINOIS
(November 3, 2000) - - -

Walker's Mayor Mike Grimmer and In-Pipe Technology Company's President Dan Williamson jointly announced today that the implementation of In-Pipe Technology's microbial process to treat Walker's wastewater has provided better than anticipated results. Mayor Grimmer stated the odors at the treatment plant, which is processing wastewater at twice the plant's rated capacity, have been eliminated and the plant discharge is clean and odor free. The effluent from the treatment plant is in almost total compliance with all criteria established by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality for discharge, and while running at twice the rated capacity.

Walker's Water & Wastewater Superintendent Robert Dugas reported that several local residents have called with positive comments. 'We don't know what you guys are doing at the plant, but keep it up. We don't remember when the plant did not smell, or the (receiving) stream looked this clean', they have said. Mr. Dugas coordinated the installation and start-up with In-Pipe personnel early in October. He added, "My staff really had no direct involvement, it was easy for the town's employee's."

Walker, one of the most rapidly growing and progressive communities in Louisiana, selected In-Pipe Technology's patented microbial treatment to improve the wastewater plant's performance and effluent water quality during construction of the town's new plant, which will have three times the current plant capacity.

"We could not be happier with In-Pipe", the Mayor stated. "Every representation and commitment made was lived up to and achieved in a time period shorter than promised." Previously, when he announced the contract, the Mayor said, "The In-Pipe process is clearly the future of wastewater treatment."

In-Pipe's President, Dan Williamson, pleased at the mayor's endorsement added, "The success in Walker further validates our service and approach and demonstrates that the future of wastewater treatment is available today with In-Pipe Technology. Our whole team pulled together to make this start-up a quick success, and we appreciate the confidence that the town has in our ability to perform."

In-Pipe's patented technology uses the continuous addition of highly concentrated microbes in the collection system to reduce odors, reduce sludge production at the plant, improve effluent quality, and reduce infrastructure corrosion all of which result in significant operating savings to In-Pipe customers. The service is paid for directly from cost savings with no up-front capital expense to the city.
