i2O Water to partner with WaterAid to improve water access

UK-based water network pressure management specialist i2O Water has agreed to work with international non-profit organisation WaterAid to realise the vision of water, sanitation and hygiene to everyone, everywhere by 2030.

According to the terms of partnership, i2O will raise funds for WaterAid through payroll giving, sponsorship and i2O match funding.

Employees at the water technology firm will also attend WaterAid events to collect funds for the organisation, which aims to offer water, sanitation and hygiene across the world by 2030.

According to an estimate, 748 million people across the world do not have access to safe water, and around 2.5bn live without a toilet.

i2O has initiated a volunteering policy for its employees, which allows them to take paid leave whenever they intend to support WaterAid directly. It has also forwarded a corporate donation to the organisation.

i2O Water chief executive officer Joel Hagan said: "Ensuring that everyone has reliable access to clean water is something that i2O is passionate about, and we are excited that we are able to contribute and support the valuable work that WaterAid is doing to achieve this."

Technology solutions from the company are presently used by 66 water utilities around the world. i2O’s Smart Pressure Management solution enables conservation of over 235 million litres of water every day, thus ensuring reliable water supply for millions of individuals.
