ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) - A New England cable TV pioneer is in the beginning stages of a new venture aimed at transforming moisture in the atmosphere into drinkable water.
The Sun Chronicle reports (https://bit.ly/1GKqN5v ) Water Generating Systems CEO Peter Ottmar recently completed a $21 million fundraising round and plans to open an Attleboro marketing office for the research and development company.
The company is developing machines that extract moisture from the air to create drinkable water. It expects to release its first commercial units later this year.
Ottmar says the company uses a cooled coil to condense the moisture, much like a dehumidifier. The system can be powered by electric or solar energy without producing waste.
Ottmar’s Inland Cable was one of the first to offer cable TV service in Massachusetts in the 1980s.
