Well, $25 billion is not chump change, although it pales in comparison to the $246 billion exacted in the 1998 multi-state tobacco settlement (Florida was part of that Big Tobacco lawsuit).

Deeply Committed to Environmental Sustainability

NOBODY KNOWS MORE ABOUT WATER THAN VEOLIA

Did you know that approximately 4.8 billion people, roughly half the world’s projected population, could live in water stressed areas by mid-century if we continue to follow “business as usual” water management practices? In India and China alone, 1.4 billion people live in areas of high water stress. This issue is not limited to Asia. Many prosperous areas closer to home – such as California and Arizona here in the U.S., are already facing issues of water stress.

Water sustainability is emerging as a major global issue. So what does this have to do with the Florida Keys and Islamorada?

The Village Council selected the Veolia Team to negotiate a contract for Islamorada’s new wastewater system because the Veolia Team provides the best value for the Village.

Every day, Veolia Water works on these water sustainability issues around the globe. Veolia Water is the world leader in water and wastewater services and technological solutions. Our mission is to preserve the water cycle through creative solutions that protect human health and ensure sustainable ecosystems.

CONSIDER:

s 6EOLIA7ATERSMORETHAN EMPLOYEESSERVEINCOUNTRIES

The depth of wastewater and reuse water system design, build and operate expertise that the Veolia Team brings to Islamorada cannot be matched by anyone. This expertise trans- lates into lower costs, higher reliability and environmental sustainability for the communities served by Veolia Water.

That’s why the Village Council selected Veolia to negotiate a contract for the new wastewater system.

You can be assured that the Veolia Team will get the project done right. We guarantee it.
