On March 5, 2014, International
Water Company hosted a delegation from Monrovia, Liberia, which included the
city’s Mayor, Clara Doe Mvogo, and other government officials. The country
continues to search for ways to give their citizens clean water and heard about
International Water Company’s portable water purification machines as a
solution to end this struggle.
International Water Company (IWC)
is a York county based manufacturer who takes pride in their main mission: to
give clean drinking water to children everywhere. In 2010, the company was
launched to provide a solution for just that. From that idea sparked two
versions of the Mobile Water Purification System (MWPS). The smaller MWPS can
pump 2.5 gallons per minute and the larger can pump 18 gallons per minute. The
MWPS machine can operate not only from a generator, but also from solar or wind
power. Other unique factors include a simple set up, a backup system in every
machine, and only one replacement part, which extras are included.

International Water Company decided
to make the event a “grand opening celebration” after hearing the Liberian
delegation will be visiting. Stephen Strachan, CEO and Managing Partner, and
Marc Ward, COO, welcomed everyone, thanked them for attending, and read letters
of congratulation by Governor Tom Corbett and US Senators Bob Casey and Pat
Toomey. Tours of the facility and demonstrations of the machines occurred
during the afternoon. IWC has demonstrated their machines in several different
countries, including China and Mexico, and has several installations overseas.
IWC remains hopeful that this trip will spark interest for the Monrovia,
Liberian officials to purchase one of their purification machines in the near
future.
