The acquisition of UV Pure continues to pay dividends for Ottawa-based Clearford Water Systems.
Clearford’s second-quarter revenues rose to $785,913, compared with $86,378 for the second quarter of 2014, the company said Friday. Much of that growth came thanks to UV Pure, which had its second profitable quarter since Clearford acquired it in December 2014.
UV Pure has reported revenue of $1.4 million so far this year, with an EBITDA of $156,765 and net income of $93,264.
