Continuing efforts to improve operational efficiencies and productivity, the Water and Sewerage Corporation (WSC) is extending its agreement to provide services to track 75 additional vehicles with CompassCom, a provider of GPS tracking solution for automatic vehicle location and mobile resource management.

The Hon. Adrian Gibson, Executive Chairman, WSC, and MP for Long Island made the announcement during a press briefing at the Corporation, Tuesday, October 23, 2019. Elwood Donaldson, General Manager, WSC and Brant and Margaret Howard, CompassCom representatives, were among those present for the event.  

Mr. Gibson said the ability to track the Corporation’s vehicles provides significant benefits including safety, efficiency and accountability.
