Xylem Employees Awarded For Volunteer Work

MOKENA, IL - Xylem Inc., a water solutions company with an office on 194th Place in Mokena, received an "Appreciation of Partners" award from the Forest Preserve District of Will County during a meeting last week. The award was handed out to recognize the local company's volunteer work with the Forest Preserve District.

Xylem employees from the Mokena office helped with clean-up efforts at the Forest Preserve's Monee Reservoir and Rock Run Rookery Preserve, according to a news release.

"Our company has a global initiative called Watermark, and the mission statement is to protect and preserve water resources across the globe," said Matt Johnson, an application engineer at Xylem's Mokena office.

"It's been a great experience for us," Johnson added. "And it's really brought our office closer together."

The University of Saint Francis in Joliet received the same award during the same board meeting.
