We are confident that Xylem is the right partner for the Company’s future success.”

“Joining Xylem is an exciting new chapter for WaterFleet,” said Kenneth Cockrill. “Together, we will be able to expand and bring our service offerings to more customers while we continue to deliver the reliable, compliant solutions our customers depend on.”
