Gentlemen:

 

Please find attached news release regarding a new company formed to address international clean water issues.  From my perspective, I view this as a confirming indicator that others believe that the issue is indeed a critical one and a potential business opportunity.

 

In preparation for our call on Thursday, 7 am (west coast time), I will distribute by Weds morning an agenda for the call and my thoughts regarding the "soup to nuts" activities we should be doing during the development period funded by seed capital to turn the our of the Clean Water Fund into a viable and real entity.  

 

Cheers

 

 

Rod

BUGS and C. Trade Group Form New Water Company for International Sales; Companies to Provide Pure Drinking Water in Third World Countries


CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)----Robert Brehm, CEO of U.S. Microbics, Inc. (OTCBB:BUGS), announced today that the Company has formed Worldwide Water Systems, Inc. in a joint venture with C. TradeUsa, Inc., a water systems integrator and International Project Development Firm, to provide pure drinking water to people in Third World countries. The companies will be using the PureSafe Water Station technology supplied by WaterChef Inc. (OTCBB:WTER), a water purification equipment vendor, as well as the engineering and project m
anagement services of C. Trade Group and Sub-Surface Waste Management of Delaware, Inc. (OTCBB:SSWM).

Worldwide Water Systems, Inc. will purchase the equipment from WaterChef and use the engineering services of SSWM to deploy the water machines on a lease-buy basis with Non Government Organizations (NGO) and companies which will employ the local labor force. The PureSafe Water Station is a self-contained, six-stage water purification system, which produces up to 15,000 gallons per day of clean, healthy water from any source. The PureSafe destroys all living pathogens and handles a broad range of organic and inorganic water contaminants, producing pure water at a very low cost per gallon. Mr. Robert Brehm and C. TradeUsa CEO Mr.
Nick Kontonicolas stated, "We are exploring all synergies between our companies so that our newly formed entity will be poised to tackle most waterborne pathogens and poisons, such as arsenic."

C. Trade Inc. has over ten years' successful experience in initiating and operating "B-O-T" (build, operate and transfer) projects in
China and Honduras, and will utilize this experience to assure a successful launch in the potentially lucrative Latin America market. C. Trade also has existing distribution networks in Bangladesh, Venezuela, Greece and Colombia, and believes these to be fertile markets for the sale of water. Mr. Nick Kontonicolas stated, "We are very excited about our continued progress working with BUGS, SSWM, and our client WaterChef, Inc. We hope to keep testing and integrating our respective patented technologies to bring about continuous and steady revenues and growth."

Robert Brehm, CEO of BUGS, stated, "I am pleased with our association with C. Trade and look forward to proving biotechnology products and services which complement and fulfill the needs to have pure water to drink, clean soil to grow food, and healthy agriculture crops to reduce hunger in Third World countries. Our unique products and services fit very well with the marketing and deployment activities of C. Trade Group."
