Mississauga, Ont.’s KSB has made a donation to Water First, a charity focused on addressing water challenges in Indigenous communities in Canada through education, training and meaningful collaboration.
“KSB wholeheartedly agrees with Water First’s values that everyone has a right to safe, clean drinking water, and that the water crisis in Indigenous communities in Canada is unacceptable. We are proud to support their important work,” KSB’s water market leader Marcus Henderson said, who encourages others to join them “in supporting their incredible work.”
The donation comes on the heels of the company’s NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 North American certification for horizontal split case pumps, models Omega and RDLO.
KSB engineered pumps meet all regulatory requirements across North America for clean municipal drinking water.

Water First’s internship program trains indigenous youth to become certified water treatment plant operators. This approach not only supports the sustainability and longevity of infrastructure investments made in these communities, but also gives program participants an excellent career path.
