WorldWater & Power Corporation (OTC BB:WWAT.OB), a manufacturer of solar water pumping systems, has signed a $1.8 million contract to supply solar-generated electricity for a tree farm in California.
Worldwater’s proprietary solar AquaMax(TM) will drive a 200 hp water pump, saving an estimated 70% of the Cocopah tree farm’s electrical bills, according to Quentin T. Kelly, WorldWater’s Chairman and CEO. The company recently completed another AquaMax(TM) system driving a 200 hp pump for Seley Ranches, a citrus farm in California. It also supplied all the solar equipment for a one megawatt solar installation at Cerro Coso College in Ridgecrest, CA, which the college estimates will supply 60% of its electricity and save the college over $300,000 a year. WorldWater also recently signed a contract with the Idyllwild (CA) Water District to operate seven of the utility’s pumps by use of the AquaMax(TM) system. Engineering work has begun on that Project.
