PENNINGTON, N.J., June 16, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- WorldWater Corp. (OTCBB:WWAT) announced today that it has completed supplying the massive one megawatt PV system installation at Cerro Coso Community College in Ridgecrest, CA. WorldWater, serving as exclusive PV equipment supplier, has delivered several million dollars worth of components in the $8,963,053 project contracted to Contra Costa Electric of Bakersfield, CA. The project represents the largest PV installation ever implemented on any community college campus.
"Obviously, a project of this magnitude required a great deal of coordination with our contractor, Contra Costa Electric. We delivered over 6000 Sharp Electronics solar modules, as well as the inverters and distribution equipment required. Over several weeks, we transported the equipment by 16 semi-tractor trailer trucks from Southern California, Tennessee, and New Jersey, and we made our contributions right on schedule," says Quentin T. Kelly, WorldWater's Chairman and CEO.
"WorldWater exceeded our expectations on this project, ensuring that all timetables were met and providing solar expertise that helped the project proceed smoothly and cost-effectively," said Richard M. Traynor, Vice President and General Manager of Contra Costa Electric. "They have been an excellent partner."
