Article: Don't Stop At Green. Go Greener.
At the turn of the new millennium, Neptune Technology Group revolutionized the water meter industry with a "green" initiative: All its bronze water meters would now be manufactured from a no-lead alloy. It quickly followed up with an industry first, receiving NSF/ANSI 61 certification for residential, industrial, commercial, and institutional meters.
Since 2001, 43 states have enacted legislation requiring in-line and endpoint devices to meet both NSF/ANSI 61 requirements and the lead-free requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act. On January 1, 2010, the State of California will begin enforcing a stricter definition of "lead free," while NSF International has developed its new "Annex G – Weighted Average Lead Content Evaluation Procedure to a 0.25% Lead Requirement."
Neptune Technology Group is leading the effort to meet this requirement, as NSF International has certified that Neptune T-10®, HP Turbine, TRU/FLO® compound, HP Fire Service Turbine, Aquity, and HP PROTECTUS® III meters are in compliance with Annex G.
By proactively developing no-lead and other green solutions, companies such as Neptune help ensure the health and safety of our drinking water and environment.
