Here at TAIT we are passionate about designing infrastructure needed for clean water throughout the communities we serve. We’re proud to join forces with Wine To Water, a non-profit organization that transforms lives through the power of clean water in third world countries. While our engineers design pipelines to distribute clean water for our modern first world, Wine To Water brings water filtration systems to deliver clean water to people who would otherwise need to walk miles to reach it. In October 2019 we held our very first Wine To Water Filter Build Program event that gave associates throughout our local and regional offices a team building activity with a big global impact.
One of our very own associates, Paul McCarter, PG with TAIT Environmental Services, was picked up in a CenturyLink Helicopter from the TAIT Loveland Office parking lot to fly to the Whiskey Mountain. He flew to Riverton, Wyoming where they stopped to refuel and spent two hours sampling for an old diesel spill at Whiskey Mountain. He then flew back to Lander, Wyoming to refuel one last time and headed back to the TAIT Loveland Office parking lot. He was able to fly about 300 miles and finish his sampling all in one day!

The TAIT team had a practice running schedule every week leading up to the event to help prepare those who participated.
The “Make Kindness Contagious” theme is now spreading beyond its origins from a child named Natasha in Anaheim by sticking to TAIT’s truck bumpers wherever they ride. After our kind CEO and former Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait’s kindness presentation to the company in February, our own compliance technician Adolfo Aguilar decided to spread kindness from our office to all over the roads of California! Adolfo suggested getting the kindness bumper sticker to place on TAIT service trucks, and we thought it was the perfect idea for all TAIT vehicles. (more…)
