Evoqua Water Technologies agreed to pay $8.5 million as part of a nonprosecution agreement (NPA) with the Department of Justice (DOJ) to settle admitted criminal charges related to fraudulent revenue recognition.
Evoqua, which designs industrial wastewater treatment and filtration plants, was headquartered in Pennsylvania. Its aquatics and disinfection (A&D) division was based in Rhode Island, where the misconduct took place, the DOJ said in a press release Tuesday.
In March 2023, the company settled its civil liabilities related to the same misconduct with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by agreeing to pay a separate $8.5 million penalty. Evoqua also paid nearly $16.7 million to settle a shareholder class-action lawsuit over the same misconduct.
