Terms of the transaction were not disclosed, but the deal includes assets, service customers and inventory for the entire operation.
“We are thrilled to welcome these new customers to the Sterling Water family,” says David Gilbertson, general manager of Sterling Water’s Eau Claire location. “We know the area, we know the water and we are ready to go to work right away. The team and I welcome any questions or concerns.”
