Pumping to Fight Against Gustav10/09/2008 |
| ITT Corporation pumps and systems helped keep the New Orleans area free of floodwater during the onslaught of Hurricane Gustav this week. Positioned at 25 different pumping stations in Jefferson, St. Charles, St. Bernard and New Orleans parishes, ITT pumps have a total pumping capacity of 20 million gallons of water per minute. ITT pumps serve as additional capacity to the city\'s existing flood water infrastructure to manage water levels in the event of natural disasters such as Gustav. |

"We expected our pumps to keep New Orleans dry as powerful Gustav bore down," said Jim Peterson, managing director of ITT's large pumps division in its Water & Wastewater business. "ITT marshaled its resources in the region to ensure we had the right people in place to provide emergency service as the storm approached. In the end, the pumps and people performed exactly as expected."
