Corix Water Systems Awarded Contract for Wastewater Treatment System for Dawson City

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jul 10 (MARKET WIRE) --
Corix announces that they have been awarded the contract for the design
and construction of a wastewater treatment plant for Dawson City.

Corix Water Systems will supply a state-of-the-art, aerobic activated
sludge process called VERTREAT(TM). This technology provides a compact,
robust and low maintenance wastewater solution. As the technology
selected by Corix is up to 50% more energy efficient than a conventional
wastewater plant and uses a smaller building than traditional solutions,
long term operating costs for the City will be much lower and the
physical environmental footprint of the plant will be significantly
reduced.

The Dawson City plant serves a winter population of approximately 1,500
residents and a summer population of approximately 4,000 residents. The
project is valued at $24.8 million.

"Corix Water Systems is very pleased to join the Dawson Wastewater
project team. With over 65 years of experience, Corix understands the
importance of sustainable infrastructure vital to the growth of
communities of all sizes. We look forward to working with the City of
Dawson and the Yukon Government as well as our local business partners,"
said Jack Touhey, Vice President, Corix Water Systems.

"We are very pleased to announce this significant project milestone,"
Highways and Public Works Minister Archie Lang said. "The project will
create local job opportunities and improve infrastructure for the
citizens of Dawson."

Corix will be working with an experienced team of contractors and
subcontractors including:

Allnorth Consulting

Noram Engineering

Han Construction

Keith Plumbing and Heating

EBA Consulting

Streamline Architects

Construction Drilling

Ben's Electric

Dorward Engineering

Representatives from Corix Water Systems, the City of Dawson and the
Yukon Government will meet to finalize the design of the plant and begin
the environmental assessment. The treatment plant is scheduled to be
completed in 2011.
