Altitude Water Founder & CEO Jeff Szur Honored During Prestige Awards For Sustainability Innovation

This April, water technology and sustainability innovator Jeff Szur, Founder and CEO of Lauderdale Lakes-based Altitude Water, was honored during the 2026 Prestige Awards celebration. Altitude’s team was recognized as ‘Sustainable Water Company of the Year,’ a title amplifying the company’s commitment to clean water accessibility, greentech, and promise to advocate for a future where no one suffers from contaminated water or lack of access.

“Our team is incredibly honored to receive this powerful distinction, especially during a time where the value of resiliency is being underplayed by many organizations,” said Altitude Water Founder and CEO Jeff Szur. “Access to safe, clean drinking water MUST be seen as an inalienable human right- its much too essential for us to ignore as water sources continue to become polluted with chemicals, hormones, and now microplastics that clog our bodies. We plan to make 2026 another year of advocacy as we grow our international work and protect in-need communities. We don’t just want to supply pure, safe, water; we want to give them hope. We use use access to safe water as a way to break generational curses that have kept communities in bondage for far too long”

In 2009, Szur had developed the first ozone purification machine in Trinidad before bringing his knowledge to the U.S. market, a decision that would lead to life-changing machinery helping thousands across the globe. With previous experience supplying clean water tech around the world, as well as numerous established and upcoming partnerships with domestic and international organizations providing essential aid, Altitude Water has cemented itself as a true visionary, one keen on uplifting the most vulnerable and changing the conversation on how sustainability and water intersect.
