subsidiary Avensys Inc., a leading manufacturer and distributor of
fiber optic components and integrator of instrumentation and
turn-key systems for environmental monitoring, received an order
for 125 Isco 2100 Series Flow meters to be used in The Regional
Municipality of York's wastewater systems in Ontario, Canada. The
order is estimated to be worth approximately $500,000 and will be
delivered in first the quarter of 2008. Earth Tech Canada, working
on behalf of York Region, will use these flow meters to complete a
comprehensive Inflow and Infiltration Assessment. This study will

treatment facilities and to recommend suitable areas for pilot
remediation projects. The York Region Inflow and Infiltration
Project will be a multi-year program, and is the single largest
flow monitoring project in Canadian history -- 120 temporary flow
monitoring locations, 15 additional rain gauges, with a minimum
monitoring period of one year. Mrs. Marie-Annick Riel, general
manager of Avensys Environmental Solutions commented, "We are very
pleased that our Isco Flow meter line has been selected for this
study. This sale further strengthens our position as a leading
