Wataire International Inc. said it has signed John Norcross Construction LLC as its new Hawai'i distributor for water-generating products.
"With drilled water wells being very expensive and often ending up with marginal quality and supply, the Wataire atmospheric water generators offer JNC a practical solution to opening up acreage development," said John Norcross, in a news release put out by Woodland Hills, Calif.-based Wataire.
"I feel this product could open the floodgates for land development for us and others in similar climates around the world which have a limited water supply."
