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.
