(NYSE: XYL), a leading global water technology company focused on addressing the world's most challenging water issues, announced today that it has acquired privately held Heartland Pump Rental and Sales, Inc.

		<title><![CDATA[Godwin, a Xylem brand, supports Hurricane Isaac Relief Efforts]]></title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>Bridgeport, NJ, US &ndash; (September 18, 2012) &ndash; Godwin, a Xylem brand, continues to support emergency relief efforts through the south after Hurricane Isaac.<br /><br />In the same areas hit by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, parishes throughout New Orleans and Baton Rouge were experiencing flooding and power outages from Hurricane Isaac. Pump stations were being used at length because of the outages, and needed backup. Godwin, in conjunction with distributor Better Pumps &amp; Solutions, deployed a total of 167 pumps.<br /><br />Godwin deployed six-inch pumps from branches in Houston, TX, San Antonio, TX, Jacksonville, FL, Lakeland, FL, Atlanta, GA, Bridgeport, NJ, and Evanston, WY. Godwin Midwest District Manager Rob Lamm traveled to Louisiana to assist Better Pumps &amp; Solutions and work with contractors.<br /><br />John Bienvenu of Better Pumps &amp; Solutions said, "There were five coastal parishes, among others, affected by Hurricane Isaac. Some have had recent levee improvements that helped prevent flooding. Others, in lower lying areas, experienced greater floods. Those not greatly affected by flooding still suffered large power outages."<br /><br />Better Pumps &amp; Solutions has locations in both New Orleans and Baton Rouge, and were at the forefront of hurricane relief in the area.<br /><br />In Mississippi, flooding wasn't too dramatic during the storm, but the remnants of Hurricane Isaac still caused problems for local communities. Godwin Eastern District Manager Will Buddin started receiving calls on Saturday before Labor Day that the Percy Quin dam and levee were in jeopardy. Officials wanted to build an emergency spillway. The dam level needed to drop to reduce the threat of cracking, and also in order to begin work on the emergency spillway.<br /><br />Said Buddin, "The dam is fed by Lake Tangipahoa, which we estimated to be a 700-900-acre lake. That's a lot of water that would go downstream toward Louisiana." Buddin boarded a plane early Labor Day morning to assist distributor Hydra Service with coordination efforts, calculations, and recommendations for the contractors on-site.<br /><br />Five 12-inch DPC300 Godwin Dri-Prime pumps and four 8-inch CD225M Dri-Prime pumps were deployed from Hydra Service. " Everyone was working to get the area under control as quickly as possible with contractors and the Army Corp of Engineers."<br /><br />The level dropped successfully in two days, and now work has begun to install the emergency spillway. This will prevent such emergencies in the future. The spillway will regulate excess flow in an emergency or torrential downpour and take pressure off the dam.</p>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Godwin, a Xylem, Inc. brand, announces donation to St. Jude Children&rsquo;s Research Hospital</p>
<p>BRIDGEPORT &ndash; (November 4, 2011) &ndash; Godwin, manufacturer of the Dri-Prime&reg; automatic self- priming, dry-running pump, announces the first donation under its newly-formed Charitable Contributions Committee.</p>
<p>Godwin's Charitable Contributions Committee presented its first donation late last week, to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The mission of St. Jude is to "advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. No child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay."</p>
<p>St. Jude is the first and only pediatric cancer center to be designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute. St. Jude developed protocols that have helped push overall survival rates for childhood cancers from less than 20 percent, when the hospital opened in 1962, to 80 percent today.</p>
<p>Godwin president, Michel Bakhos, said, "Godwin&rsquo;s management and employees are very happy to be able to contribute to the welfare of children. We are proud of the engagement and exitement of our employees to participate in the welfare of the society and contribute generously."</p>
<p>The objective of Godwin&rsquo;s Charitable Contributions Committee is to encourage charitable giving and employee participation in a way that reaches a diverse group of relevant charitable organizations. Annual giving will be divided among efforts that include education, emergency and disaster relief, environmental, medical, arts and humanities, and support to armed forces families. The company will also begin a program for matching gifts based on employees' contributions to specific charitable organizations, and continue initiatives from previous years, like Operation Santa Claus.</p>]]></description>
