Crown Electrokinetics Element 82 Division Secures $10M Contract

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crown Electrokinetics Corp. (NASDAQ: CRKN) (“Crown” or the “Company”), a leading smart glass technology company and an expert in constructing fiber optic networks and lead pipe inspection and remediation, today announced that its Element 82 division has secured a contract valued at $10 million for lead pipe inspection. The work is scheduled to begin in late October.

“We are pleased to have added this significant contract to the host of others before it, resulting in a strong and growing pipeline of work. Our turnkey solution addresses a major unmet need within the approximate 13 million homes that are in need of lead pipe inspection across the United States," says David Kinsella. “Opportunities like this further Crown’s mission to help transform infrastructure to improve people’s lives.”

Lead in drinking water pipes represents an enormous problem for the United States of America. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) estimates that 9.2 million lead pipes carry drinking water to American water taps. The National Resources Council has estimated numbers as high as 12.8 million pipes. These numbers could be significantly higher, given the poor mapping and enormous complexity of the country’s water systems. Despite the range, experts agree that millions of American households remain at risk of lead exposure through their drinking water.

Element 82 has already commenced projects in New York, Virginia, and Florida. In Florida, the Company has already concluded a project in the Town of Medley. Two additional projects have also begun in the State of New York, including the City of Batavia and Oneonta with further projects due to commence later this year in the City of Little Falls and the Village of Warwick.
