“Everyone here is early adopters, you chose to keep your water clean even before there were regulations mandating compliance,” said a representative of the City of Dallas at the ceremony.

Teledyne Cable Solutions uses contact and non-contact cooling water in its manufacturing processes. TCS has a permit from the City of Dallas to discharge industrial wastewater into the sanitary sewer. TCS has received the award for staying within categorical discharge limitations. To ensure compliance with City regulations, TCS takes educational steps with all employees who interact with the cooling water, does regular preventative maintenance of the equipment, and ensures proper use and storage of chemicals so that it doesn’t mix with the water. TCS has also invested in new or upgraded equipment, including water tanks, pumps, and filtration systems.

George Andersen, VP of Teledyne Interconnect, says, “We’re very happy to have received this award. It reinforces our reputation as good corporate citizens, and credit goes to our team for carrying out their responsibilities perfectly.”
