Water and wastewater supplier United Flow Technologies is expanding its presence in the Southeast through the acquisitions of CS3 Water Works in Florida and Principle Environmental in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle. The deals aim to strengthen UFT's technical capabilities and regional reach in fast-growing utility markets across the region.
