WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 1, 2012-- Xylem Inc. (NYSE: XYL), a leading global water technology company focused on addressing the world’s most challenging water issues, makes its first appearance as a pure-play water company at the world’s largest annual water industry exhibition this week. This is the first Water Environment Federation Technical Exhibition and Conference (WEFTEC) Xylem has participated in since it spun off from ITT Corporation in 2011. WEFTEC runs from September 29 to October 3 in New Orleans, La.

Xylem will introduce its newest products in water and wastewater transport, treatment and analytical instrumentation under its well-known product brands that include Flygt, WEDECO, YSI, Godwin Pumps, Sanitaire and Leopold in Hall H at Booth 6239.

MJK products are used in water, wastewater, environmental and irrigation applications where critical measurements are required in pipes, wells, open channels and canals.

In addition, Xylem’s President and CEO Gretchen McClain will participate in the “Water Leaders 2012: Rethinking Water Services” panel, keynoted by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson, to discuss smarter ways of managing water to meet the needs of urbanizing populations.

“We are excited to showcase our industry-leading products, as well as our Xylem brand identity at WEFTEC,” said McClain. “As we near our one-year anniversary as a standalone water company, our focus remains to devote our technology, time and talent to advance the smarter use of water, and to help all of our constituencies understand the importance of efficient water and wastewater management to the health of the economy.”
